Available in Q1 of 2009, the Workplace Suite is part of the CorasWorks Modular Application Development System (MADS), an application development system that has been deployed in more than 1,000 enterprises worldwide and enables organizations to design, build and manage applications in SharePoint without the costs and complexity of custom code development. This next generation release of the Workplace Suite drives forward on its productivity-enhancing features for end-users, builders, and developers while delivering a powerful set of tools and capabilities that enhance the manageability of application environments developed on SharePoint.

CorasWorks Snaplets(TM) enable builders to centrally configure task-centric applets that can be distributed and reused across the environment, making it even faster to build and deploy with greater consistency than previous versions of the Workplace Suite.

"With version 10.0 of the Workplace Suite, we have delivered the most integrated modular development platform available for SharePoint," said Gary Voight, CEO of CorasWorks. "We continued to enhance the feature set that drives the productivity benefits of modular application development and use.
