Reston, Virginia-based Visix Software Inc, which reckons it missed the contract IBM Corp awarded to Neuron Data Inc last week by a whisker, is thought to be looking at some alternative ways of marketing Galaxy, including using the Internet as a vehicle; Visix is currently recruiting for a UK subsidiary it plans to open in the next two months; the company is also at sixes and sevens with Sun Microsystems Inc over that co-marketing deal on Galaxy (CI No 2,088): Visix says What deal? while Sun insists that there is an agreement, has been for months and that it is moving lots of product – Galaxy is designed to enable developers to create a single version of an application intended to run under different graphical user interfaces.
