SoftServe Pioneers the New "Software-as-a-Service" Wave by Integrating Microsoft's "Bird's Eye" Web Service in a Comprehensive RE3W Application

SoftServe, the leading software development company in Eastern Europe, was the first to integrate innovative Bird's Eye feature from Microsoft's Windows Live Local (Powered by MSN Virtual Earth ®) into a comprehensive commercial software product developed for its long-term partner and client - the RE3W, Inc. This Internet solution for the commercial real estate industry was introduced at the Microsoft Live Offering Event in San Francisco (Nov. 1, 2005), and was highly lauded by Bill Gates, the Chairman and Chief Software Architect of Microsoft Corp.

Utilizing Bird's Eye, a 45 degree oblique aerial image from Windows Live Local® and a tax assessors parcel map delivered via web services from The First American Corporation, the RE3W software allows its members to virtually "fly" into the business district of any city via satellite imagery and to easily identify the correct parcel of land. By simply drawing a box on the MSN Virtual Earth® satellite image of a property the RE3W customers will get a list of all property owners contained within the box, together with all owner's contact information and telephone numbers.

This MSN Bird's Eye integration with Real Estate Portal allows end-users to:

• Search and get the 45 degree oblique aerial images for the properties;
• Have a zoom view of the selected aerial image and pan around;
• Get graphical information in addition to the real estate business data retrieved or populated earlier;
• Print Bird's Eye photos.

Built on Microsoft's .NET technology, the RE3W application is a unique combination of Web services with innovative technology that provides rich experiences to RE3W customers and equips them with a full set of visual information on the territory of their interest. This breakthrough software is designed to instantly provide "live services" to millions of users nationwide, and frees commercial real estate professionals from the costly tedium of their traditional search and collaboration process.
