A Real Winner

FiveRuns was a big hit last week at LinuxWorld, as it has been everywhere it’s been shown (JBoss World, RailsConf, Interop and the MySQL UC) and has been garnering praise from all corners of the tech industry including members of the cross-platform UI team from Apple. Coming from Apple, that’s high-praise indeed.

Rob from Sugar CRM had this to say about FiveRuns:

Built on Rails and Web 2.0 buzz, their next-gen system management interface was definitely best of breed visually. Concerns over scalability of a Rails based application, especially with a Software as a Service model definitely popup immediately, but on interface alone they have a real winner product. Neatest feature: Updated links from Google for frequently occurring error messages displayed contextually with a service problem. Super rad.

FiveRuns Goes GA

Tuesday, August 15th marked the official announcement that FiveRuns’ self-titled systems management application has been declared GA.

Wishingline Design Studio, Inc. been working extensively with Austin, Tx-based FiveRuns since March of 2006 on the front-end design of the application along with the underlying XHTML/CSS structure.

On top of the application design, Wishingline Design Studio, Inc. has also been involved in creating the company’s public-facing website, a number of marketing-focused HTML e-mails, and their booth at LinuxWorld.

Although the application has been declared GA, we still have work to do to tie up some loose ends and will be travelling back down to Austin next week to work closely with the team there to deal with these minor outstanding bugs and UI tweaks.

FiveRuns is currently showing off the application this week at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, California.
