BlueFinity
International is pleased to announce a new partnership
naming OpenIT Solutions
as a distributor of
BlueFinity products across Southern Africa. The
agreement includes both mv.NET, the world class
Microsoft .NET
development and deployment product for all the major
MultiValue databases, and Reporting Services Data Connector
(RSDC) for Microsoft Reporting Services solutions.
Established in 1980,
OpenIT Solutions primarily focuses on providing
comprehensive Information Technology solutions and services
to organizations throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Under this
agreement, OpenIT will supply and support BlueFinity
products through an established network of 40+ committed
Business Partners from their head office in Johannesburg.
OpenIT started researching mv.NET due to the growing need
for .NET solutions in their existing channel. Schalk de
Klerk, Managing Director of OpenIT explains, "OpenIT
provides cost effective, integrated Information Technology
solutions that are effortless to use and easily
maintainable. After researching mv.NET, it was immediately
clear that this product would enhance our portfolio of world
class solutions and allow us to answer the growing
requirement for .NET solutions in our region."
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.
RSDC, when used with mv.NET, supports the full feature
set of Microsoft's Reporting Services product and allows it
to be used against all of the major MultiValue database
platforms with almost no extra work on behalf of the
application developer. This allows MultiValue databases to
provide sophisticated, real-time report data using a wide
variety of delivery mediums (Browser, PDF, rich-client,
application-embedded), incorporating all of the reporting
features expected by today's demanding report consumer.
This distribution agreement is only the latest step in
realizing the market potential of BlueFinity technology in
the area. "For some time BlueFinity has been looking to
expand it’s presence in the region," says Pete Loveless, CEO
of BlueFinity International. "This agreement is part of an
initiative to provide direct sales and support for a growing
client base in Southern Africa. We are confident that the
combination of BlueFinity International’s cutting-edge
products with OpenIT’s local knowledge and comprehensive
services will result in an extremely successful
partnership."
