Vendors Maximize Value of MultiValue Investments

Database Trends and Applications Magazine recently posed a question to industry leaders in the MultiValue Community. 

IN THE FACE OF an uncertain economic outlook, organizations as well as government agencies and educational institutions are focused on controlling costs, while also maximizing IT investments that have already been made. What is your company doing to help customers extend the value of their MultiValue assets? 

DAVID COOPER, LEAD DEVELOPER, BLUEFINITY INTERNATIONAL

THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE is encouraging organizations to maximize their current IT investment, that is, they will look to enhance/adapt/integrate what they have at the moment to achieve IT aims for business gain in preference to spending large sums of money on infrastructure replacement programs.

This fact makes the need to be able to integrate MultiValue technology with other non-MultiValue components even more pertinent. It could be argued that it presents the MultiValue community with an opportunity to prove that it can play on an equal footing with the other (commercially larger) kids on the block. This current climate is being seized upon by MultiValue developers and resellers as an ideal opportunity to sell and prove the concept of enhancing current MultiValue investment through integration. ‘Integration’ in the broadest sense of the term—integration with other databases, with new interface presentation technologies and new software development tools or creating new applications leveraging off of the existing functionally rich and powerful MultiValue systems already in place. BlueFinity is firmly focused on the issue of integrating MultiValue with Microsoft technology, specifically within the .NET technology space. The opportunity and solutions are here; the question is—will the MultiValue community continue to rise to the challenge?
