An excellent 2007 end of year statement

2007, a great year for Tixeo which revenue has been multiplied by 4, and a profit of 60%. Tixeo is proud to count among its clients some organizations like BNP Paribas, Airbus or Sagem. These good results have incited Tixeo to reinvest for 2008 a big part of its profit, which has conduced in early 2008 to a growth of 150% of our manpower. Tixeo stays aware of its clients requests and has launched several new projects based on their ideas which should be released before end of 2008. We once again want to thank all our customers for their confidence.

Workspace3D's release

Tixeo Soft. announces the release of its product WorkSpace3D on the beginning of 2004. WorkSpace3D brings a new way to communicate and work on the web. It provides three dimensional shared Workspaces. Each user is shown as a virtual character (avatar), sees through this character's eyes and interacts with 3D applications. The third dimension allows to know intuitively "who" is doing "what", "where" and "how", which is not possible with other software. Collaboration is thus more effective and productivity increases, even if the workers are geographically distant.
