 FarPoint Technologies, Inc., a privately held company with
corporate headquarters located next to Research Triangle Park (RTP) in
Morrisville, North Carolina, is a leading developer and publisher of
professional components for Windows development. Our award-winning tools benefit
the leading corporations, software companies, and independent consultants around
the world as a cost-effective solution for building distributed enterprise-wide
applications for commercial or in-house use. From the CEO to our newest team
member, our goals are the same: to provide you with the innovative tools and
support you need to effectively compete in today's competitive development
market.
FarPoint's foundation began in 1991 (then Prescription Software)
by re-introducing Drovers Professional Toolbox for Windows, what is believed to
be the first development package available for the professional Windows
developer, with thirteen new DLLs, including a fully featured spreadsheet
control. Developers using languages such as C or C++ quickly realized the
benefits of using our pre-built DLLs instead of spending their valuable
resources developing these controls internally.
The advent of Visual
Basic 1.0 presented FarPoint with a new opportunity in the professional
development market. After being contacted by Microsoft asking that our
spreadsheet be made available for their users, the first spreadsheet control
ever available for Visual Basic was soon introduced in our product Visual
Architect. Along with the spreadsheet control, Visual Architect offered
formatted-edit controls in this new VBX format. The rising popularity of Visual
Basic and our controls allowed us to introduce several new products to the
market in the coming months: Spread/VBX, Aware/VBX, Grid/VBX, Tab/VBX and Tab
Pro, while continuing support for Professional Toolbox for Windows.
Today, FarPoint is one of the oldest and most respected vendors in the
industry. We continue to cater our products to the professional developer by
offering our components as a 32-bit ActiveX control, 32-bit DLLs, Windows Forms
and Web Forms components.
We are honored that many of the Fortune 1000 and leading companies around the
world have chosen FarPoint as their source for industry-proven development
controls, including: Microsoft Corporation, IBM, Hewlett Packard, the Internal
Revenue Service, Nike, Coca Cola, the Upjohn Company, Blue Cross and Blue
Shield, Martin Marietta, Dun and Bradstreet, Chase Manhattan Bank, World Savings
Bank, the Federal Reserve Bank, the office of the President of the United
States, and many more.
