The release of version 1.1 of its groundbreaking program, a Rapid Application Development tool for analysing and presenting business data, using a familiar spreadsheet interface, Resolver One(tm) has been announced today by Resolver Systems. To create powerful and easy-to-use solutions, all using your existing knowledge of spreadsheets, Resolver One integrates databases, code and IT-developed components. From the fact that it is fully programmable with Python code comes the power and ingenious flexibility of Resolver One.

CTO and MD of Resolver Systems, Giles Thomas, declared: "We've made quite a lot of changes, hopefully making the program more responsive and pleasant to use as well as adding cool new features." He added: "With this release," said Jean Viry-Babel, Head of Sales, "Resolver One has achieved maturity and we are ready to conquer the data analysis world."

Being first released in 1991, Resolver One uses the Python programming language. With a rich standard library, Python is an easily learnable and highly expressive language; it has been successfully used in a wide variety of applications, in businesses and in academia. While its more sophisticated features and built-in test framework allow experienced developers to build powerful tools which can adapt quickly to changing requirements, its clean syntax allows newcomers to become productive rapidly.

To produce a next generation spreadsheet, Resolver Systems was founded in 2005. The founders, Robert Smithson, Giles Thomas and Patrick Kemmis, had all struggled with the challenges of running multi-million or multi-billion dollar businesses through poorly debugged spreadsheets. Their solution - Resolver One - seamlessly integrates a powerful and flexible programming language and a traditional spreadsheet environment. Already Resolver One has received extensive interest from companies in the financial, medical and academic communities.
