DREAM VALLEY, HYDERABAD, India, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- S3 Edge, an
independent software vendor, founded by previous Microsoft employees has
announced the availability of a new category of applications called RTVS
(Real Time Visibility Systems). S3 RTVS will provide cost-effective

warehouse visibility in addition to providing solutions for comprehensive
connectivity and management of various mobile and fixed readers on
Microsoft BizTalk Server.
Built on the enterprise-proven Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2, the S3
