Constellation Software Inc, a year-old nine-man start-up located in Framingham, Massachusetts, would have liked to have submitted its object transfer technology to the the Object Management Group’s Request for Procedure, and in fact did submit it in the early stages of the Request, but was forced to withdraw when the Object Group decided it would look only at total solutions, rather than components. Constellation says there was not enough leeway in the Object Management Group’s hurried timetable for a company with limited resources to appraise the field and find a partner. Company president Jim Foy says Constellation might still be interested in teaming up with someone, but isn’t going to initiate anything.
