BlueFinity International Offers Migration Package from Raining Data’s PDP.NET to BlueFinity’s mv.NET

BlueFinity International is pleased to annouce a special offer for Raining Data’s PDP.NET customers wishing to migrate to BlueFinity’s mv.NET! 

Some of the incentives qualifying PDP.NET customers will be eligible to receive from BlueFinity include discounts on licenses in addition to the volume discounts in the price book, beneficial payment terms and a variety of consultancy services. 

This limited time offer comes in response to requests from the market as evidenced by comments on various industry message boards.  Peter Hughes, Director at ALMA Services, comments: "We made the move to mv.NET from PDP.NET nearly two years ago because of its superior functionality, especially in the area of MultiValue item updating and database management. We were also impressed with the mv.NET roadmap that was being described at the time and subsequently met with the introduction of .NET Framework 2 and Reporting Services.  With no support for .NET Framework 2 and Visual Studio 2005 in Raining Data's PDP.NET nearly 18 months after BlueFinity released support in mv.NET, we are certain we made the right move." 

BlueFinity, a member of the Mpower1 Group of Companies, has become a powerhouse player in the MultiValue industry, carving out a solid presence in the marketplace.  The company’s published roadmap, available on the corporate website,  includes plans for the development of both additional features for their existing product range and the introduction of brand-new, innovative products.  

Updates to the product and/or documentation occur on a monthly basis as mv.NET is aggressively enhanced based on feedback from the field.  Future enhancements to mv.NET including support for .NET Framework 3.0, extended AJAX integration, Vista and 64-bit support reinforce the company’s dedication to the product. 

“We considered Raining Data's product, but decided against it because we felt their heart was not really into it,” states Sholom Hamada, Prudential Stainless & Alloys.  “On the other hand, BlueFinity is a smaller company, but seems to have their heart in their product. The company is staking themselves on .NET and mv.NET. They seem to have the personnel to develop it. They also seem to be advancing it along as Microsoft advances .NET itself. That's a good sign. We feel comfortable with their vision.” 

Customers who migrate to BlueFinity’s mv.NET also do so for its unique technical capabilities.  Drexel Management Systems has many new installations and has successfully migrated all of their original sites. “We had successfully installed other connectivity solutions, but after trying mv.NET, we have found it solid, fast, easy to install, robust, and feature rich,” says Drew Conboy, Drexel’s President.  “The fact that it fits across multiple flavors of MultiValue makes it the ideal solution. The latest release supports Ajax which is a must have feature for future web development.  If anyone is looking for a way to bring open system technologies to their MultiValue applications they should look no further than to mv.NET from BlueFinity”.

BlueFinity customers find it easy to integrate the technology with their existing infrastructure.  Jon Neutens, President of Thede Ward Systems, migrated their .NET integration tool from PDP.NET to mv.NET.  “mv.NET was easy to install and use and it ran as advertised.  We now use mv.NET to run D3 subroutines and to read and write data for our proprietary browser-based business intelligence and reporting tool,” explains Neutens.  “In fact, we are so impressed with BlueFinity that we have now implemented a universal D3 Data Object Web Service and are incorporating other new web-based tools and applications, augmenting our current offerings." 

BlueFinity has developed superior expertise within their team and prides itself on their strategic role of customer service.  The company routinely hears from industry leaders that BlueFinity takes care of its customers, making a commitment to work together as a team.  Tony Gravagno of Nebula Research & Development comments, “mv.NET support is absolutely outstanding. It is personal, fast, and informative. If I have issues or I need to escalate questions from my clients, we always have an excellent rapport with BlueFinity and it always leads to some sort of resolution as a fix, an enhancement, or a documentation update.  This is the sort of service that people appreciate.  I have confidence that they are interested in building their business and they constantly reinforce the belief that they want to do business with my company and others.” 

So, why should you consider switching to mv.NET from PDP.NET? Because other developers who have already moved to mv.NET are reaping the benefits today.  As Gravagno says, “When it comes to the pure business of .NET connectivity, there is no doubt in my mind that the best product in this class in our industry is mv.NET.”
