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.”
