Skyscape.com, an innovative leader in providing hand-held wireless software solutions for the medical community www.skyscape.com, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with PocketMedicine.com. The partnership provides for PocketMedicine.com to use Skyscape's content authoring tool, Shakespeare(TM), to develop "gold-standard" medical content for hand-held devices. Shakespeare uses Skyscape's Advanced Referencing Technology (ART(TM)) to develop practice-specific solutions for medical professionals.
"In my 31 years of medical publishing experience, the industry has been continuously searching for better ways to publish original medical content on multiple platforms," said Lewis Reines, President of PocketMedicine.com. "After looking at a number of other technologies, we knew immediately that Skyscape's Shakespeare authoring tool was the ideal solution for strengthening our ability to develop and distribute critical content to mobile medical professionals."
Under the agreement, PocketMedicine.com will work with leading medical authors to develop and publish original medical content for use on the full range of hand-helds including PALM(R), Pocket PC and other Windows CE devices. The first work is planned for publication in 4Q 2000.
Sandeep Shah, President and CEO for Skyscape stated, "This partnership represents a significant endorsement of Skyscape's unique technology platform. It also demonstrates the rapidly growing acceptance of the Company's ART technology as the `gold-standard' for developing and deploying critical content for hand-held devices."
