Abstraction Systems

Established in 2000, Abstraction Systems is dedicated to the development of reliable high quality .NET components and applications. Since its foundation, the company has been providing consulting services and developing component-based software systems for large Swiss companies from the financial and industrial sector. The acquired know-how developing components for large scaled two- and three-tiered systems is now also used to create components for the component market. ToolTipsFactory for .NET is the first result of this diversification and more will follow. The idea for this first commercial component came about because many of the hundreds of users using our systems were complaining about the tool tips being too small and the content too limited to be of much use. With the introduction of early prototypes of the ToolTipsFactory in these corporate applications the complaints changed. Now the users want these kinds of tooltips for all their other windows applications too.
