Explix Technologies (t/a Workgroup) to distribute Entrinsik's Informer in South Africa

Explix Technologies (Pty) Ltd t/a Workgroup have agreed to distribute and support Entrinsik’s popular Informer Web Reporting Software in South Africa. Workgroup is IBM’s sole distributor of Universe and Unidata (U2) databases in South Africa and therefore in the perfect position to offer Informer, the U2 industry’s leading reporting solution.

"Many of our customers have expressed the strong need to intuitively pull data out of their U2 databases" said Kurt Neumann, U2 Business Unit Manager @ Workgroup. "With Informer, our customers can securely access their data from anywhere using their browser. They can logically display the data in HTML format; drop it into Excel, PDF, or emails. Informer’s report scheduling feature is also very popular. We expect our Independent Software Providers (ISP’s) will embrace the Informer Community feature allowing them to easily distribute reports among their customer base."

The partnership extends Entrinsik’s sales and support arm to a continent it would have otherwise had difficulty reaching. "With Workgroup’s dominant market presence and professional support staff, we found the perfect partner to reach organizations in need of Informer in South Africa", said Doug Leupen, President and CEO of Entrinsik. "We are confident that Workgroup will be able to sell Informer into this market and provide the quality support service for the product that both our customers and their customers have grown to expect".

Informer is a web based reporting tool allowing end users to intuitively and securely access data directly from IBM U2 databases and view the data in HTML, Excel, or PDF formats.
