Pipemetrics taps into the emerging market trend for higher quality Windows software

Lausanne, Switzerland, June 25, 2015 — /EPR COMPUTER NEWS/ — Overwhelmingly positive user response confirms strong demand for well-crafted Windows software.

Pipemetrics (http://www.pipemetrics.com) marked the first year on the market of its flagship product Bvckup 2 (http://bvckup2.com/) by announcing that an analysis of user engagement data shows substantial and growing demand from Windows users for higher quality standards.

Windows has been traditionally associated with software that focused on the technical elements first and the user experience second.

Founded in 2012, Pipemetrics was set up with an altogether different take on Windows software. By marrying industrial system engineering with nuanced visual and interactive design, the company develops software that is as lean and powerful as it is beautiful.

This month marks the first anniversary of the release of Bvckup 2 – the first embodiment of company’s design principles. A simple, single-purpose, yet sophisticated and performant local backup software for Windows.

“When we launched Bvckup 2 we wondered whether our high-end engineering philosophy would be accepted by users,” explained company’s founder, Alexandre Pankratov. “After all it’s not uncommon for Windows software to compete on how many things a product does rather on how well it does them. After the release, we were very pleased with the positive reviews in the media, but what completely caught us off guard was the avalanche of compliments received from actual users.”

Conceived for professional, enterprise and advanced home users, the functional power of Bvckup 2 is harnessed through a precise and intuitive interface to deliver a robust user experience.

“This overwhelmingly positive reaction shows that a growing number of Windows users recognize and look for software polish as a feature in its own right. Windows users’ expectations are changing; simply having lots of options is no longer enough.”

Sample of user feedback*
“Bvckup 2 is one of the best pieces of software I’ve used in the last 35 years. Does what you said; solves my problem; Fast.” Michael Fuller

“A truly beautiful, precise and well-executed piece of software.” Riyad Kalla

“Simple, minimalistic, yet so powerful.” Ivan Kolevski

Product information:
Bvckup 2 (pronounced “Backup 2”) is a mirroring data backup software for Windows. Select a pair of directories and the app will make sure that one stays an exact copy of the other. It is light, uncomplicated and includes a comprehensive array of supporting features. It is also incredibly fast.

Pipemetrics SA is a Swiss company founded by Alexandre Pankratov, formerly of the Hamachi VPN project, acquired by LogMeIn after growing to 3 million users in 18 months. The company draws extensively from his experience combining advanced engineering and interface design to produce simpler software for complex tasks.

WOW!Keys, the world’s first keypad enhancement software for Windows, that lets you turn numeric keypads into lean, mean typing and mousing machines

TESA Tech Group announces WOW!Keys, the world’s first keypad enhancement software that lets you turn numeric keypads into lean, mean typing and mousing machines. WOW!Keys runs under Windows 2000 and above, and works on the vast majority of numeric keypads, including those built into standard keyboards and a wide variety of external models.

WOW!Keys features NILPware(tm), an intuitive, one-handed method of typing based on combination key presses called chords. While memorizing the most often used chords is helpful, it is not required to start productively NILPing. An Instant NILPer module keeps a chord chart on top of a basic notepad, letting users start working as soon as they learn how to read the chart. Three other training modules, plus unique View-Do Help, make mastering NILPing fun and easy. Users can expect to achieve speeds faster than pen or thumbpad input after only a few hours of training, and should reach speeds in the 30-60+ word per minute range after 30 or 40 hours of practice.

WOW!Keys features the first truly usable, adjustable software Virtual Mouse for keypads, and fast easy mode switching between one-handed typing, mousing and 10-key data entry.

The company envisions a wide variety of usage scenarios including:

· As the perfect remote for living room based, Media PC’s (with a wireless keypad)

· In belt worn mode, as a compact, ergonomic input device for Tablet, Ultramobile and Wearable PC users (who greatly benefit from the one-handed operation)

· In hand held mode, as the best presentation input device, allowing presenters and teachers to type notes overhead and do full text Internet searches, from anywhere in a room (even while standing or walking)

· Online Game Chatters can text chat or taunt opponents at high speed while still having one hand on the mouse for fighting or fleeing · Non-typists who find it easier to learn and master than traditional QWERTY typing

· Existing external keypad users, tired of needing both an external keypad and mouse with their laptops, can use WOW!Keys Mouse Mode on their keypad, and pack just one peripheral

· Anyone who could use dramatically more free space on their desks

TESA Tech Group is actively pursuing licensing WOW!Keys technology, so eventually it may be available in cell phones, game controllers and the must have combination device of tomorrow.

WOW!Keys with NILPware 1.0 is priced at $49.95. As an Introductory Special, TESA Tech Group is giving free USB external numeric keypads to the first 50 customers. A 15-day free trial download is available at
