Their intended product, also named "Ovation", was an integrated software suite aiming to compete against the industry leader at the time, Lotus 1-2-3.[2] The company raised several million in capital and secured a distribution agreement with Tandy Corporation, including co-marketing with their line of Tandy 2000 computers.[3][4] However, despite building impressive demonstrations, culminating with a high-profile news conference staged at Manhattan's Windows on the World restaurant,[5] the company ultimately was unable to ship their product, and filed for bankruptcy by the end of 1984.[2] Ovation's most enduring claim to fame may be as what is considered by many to be the industry's "most notorious" example of vaporware.[5] Possibly as a knowing reference - "Ovation" was used as the name of a desktop publishing package for the Acorn Archimedes several years later.
