Java Enables ubivent to Create Virtual Events

ubivent, Europe’s leading virtual event specialist, enables organizations to virtualize a wide range of events, from partner summits, customer events, and career fairs to kickoff meetings, R&D conferences, and more. ubivent solutions reduce customers’ costs and extend the reach of their events without sacrificing interaction.

ubivent based its platform on JavaFX technology because it can be used across multiple platforms, and it allows developers to create customizable graphics controls and effects in the events platform. This is essential for ubivent customers that are utilizing virtual events as a marketing tool and need to ensure that they adhere to design guidelines.

Dr. Thomas Butter, ubivent’s co-founder and CTO, said that JavaFX makes the user interface easier to customize by allowing the 3-D architecture to change for each event without having to alter the original design. Beyond the design freedom JavaFX provides, Butter points out that it is also a powerful programming language that makes development easy. JavaFX serves as a competitive advantage over Flash-based platforms because it opens the door for new functionalities that are not possible with Flash and other technologies.

At CeBIT 2011, ubivent’s Virtual Career Day solution was chosen by the German "Initiative Mittelstand" as one of the three most innovative products of the year in the HR category.
