In 1997, work began on a Windows software that evaluates, archives and graphically displays sports shooting results. During this time, Jörg Tochenhagen developed a flexible module system that was able to process the data supplied by various evaluation systems in order to transmit rankings and shot results to other client systems as well as to display them via a graphical interface. The software was used between 1997 and 2003 in various national and international sport shooting competitions (including world championships), in which TV stations were able to use the video presentations provided by the software for their programs.

Between 2003 and 2004 this software was further developed in cooperation with a Linux programmer and used at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
