Tech Ed 97, Yokohama, Japan as reported by OBSpy’s representative in Japan
Like a typhoon, Synon whirled through Tech Ed Japan here in Yokohama. No other vendor exhibited such presence and attracted such large crowds. Comments were heard like:
“I’m impressed! I never thought there is a tool like this! It’s beyond my imagination!!!” <translated from Japanese>
Obsydian T-shirts were being worn immediately by Japanese attendees, very atypical in events such as these.
Synon’s name was on everyones lips and Obsydian was being hailed as the savior for large scale Enterprise development fully supporting DBCS and Japanese.
