The Goal Getters

Oracle’s Smart Space product was a decent attempt at creating a desktop widget platform that work in conjunction with its software offerings.  Unfortunately, after the Economy took a tailspin, so did the Smart Space project.

Before the discontinuation of Smart Space, The Goal Getters was one of the first companies to start developing desktop widgets for Hyperion Financial Management.   Our first attempts were to clone some of the administrative features of HFM that are performed through the web interface, and to provide the same functionality as a desktop gadget.  Some of the gadgets we built extended some of this functionality, and added some of the features Smart Space was offering (chat, messaging, notifications).
