IBM to market and sell BlueFinitys mv.NET.

BlueFinity International Limited announced an agreement with IBM that will allow IBM to market and sell BlueFinity’s flagship product, mv.NET.

Under the agreement, IBM will develop, market and sell an IBM version of mv.NET through its sales force, as well as offer the product through its widely established network of VARs and OEM partners. The agreement enables IBM to receive mv.NET source code for integration with its UniData and UniVerse (U2) data server environments, develop an IBM version of the product, and fully support its customer base.

"Customers will immediately benefit from our ability to leverage mv.NET technology to deliver a tool that will facilitate development of .NET-based solutions for the U2 data servers," said Susie Siegesmund, Director of U2 Data Services for IBM. "This will open up opportunities for existing U2 customers to create .NET-based interfaces to their extended-relational data servers and help facilitate development of new innovative business applications."

mv.NET is a comprehensive solution for accessing MultiValue databases from within Microsoft's .NET environment. It enables software designers to combine the power and flexibility of proven MultiValue technology with the feature rich .NET environment.

"The mv.NET products from BlueFinity are currently attracting considerable attention as they are introduced to markets around the world. This partnership will help accelerate the introduction of mv.NET, particularly into IBM’s established customer base and distribution channels," said Pete Loveless, General Manager of BlueFinity. "The synergy between our respective product lines and target markets makes this relationship a natural fit."
