Enemy Nations is a real-time strategy game that received very high rankings in video game magazines.[1][2] The publisher went out of business shortly after the game's release, forcing developer Windward Studios to sell the game exclusively from its website. The game is now available to download free online.[3]
In 2003 the company realigned and focused on offering an enterprise-level reporting program for business teams called Windward Reports. Windward Reports is comparable to other reporting software such as Crystal Reports, Pentaho and Izenda. Windward Reports’ customers include GE Industrial Equipment Services, Fidelity Investments and Pfizer Inc.[4]
Windward has been positively reviewed in eWeek [5] and DevSource.[6]
Cubicle Wars, an early marketing video by the company, received an overwhelming response when it debuted in 2006.[7] With over 2 million views on YouTube and Digg.com the video became an internet phenomenon large enough to merit a response in BusinessWeek’s August 2007 SmallBiz publication.[7]
