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."
