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."
