ONgroup recently sent ONware off to Microsoft's testing facilities for certification and are please to announce that we passed with flying colors. This accreditation provides ONgroup with the resources we need to deliver state of the art technology to our customers. We can now proudly display the Front Runner stamp to let our customers know that they can confidently use SQL Server 2005 with ONware within the same timeframe as Microsoft's release to the public.
"Microsoft has always been committed to the success of our broad ISV partner community and will continue to rely heavily on that community to drive innovative solutions to market," said Pradeep Rathinam, general manager of U.S. ISV Strategy in the U.S. Partner Group at Microsoft. "The Front Runner program was designed to provide our partners with the best development environment possible and give them the technical and marketing tools they need to be successful over the long term."
Microsoft wanted to ensure that ISVs have access to a full host of benefits to enable them to bring best-of-breed solutions to market more quickly and effectively. Giving ISVs the resources they need to fast-track the development of these applications enables customers to start taking advantage of the increased scalability, availability and security of the application built on top of SQL Server 2005 almost immediately, increasing their company's productivity.
MultiValue developers are using ONware to move their applications to SQL Server where they can continue developing and maintaining applications with MultiValue tools, use relational tools, or combine the two.
Sites, such as New York State, that have gone live re-hosting their MultiValue applications with ONware, report improved performance as well as other benefits such as web integration and the .NET framework.
“VARs with MultiValue application packages are able to compete successfully in a vast marketplace now that their applications are SQL-enabled”, comments Tim Spells, President of ONgroup. “Providing a MultiValue-enabled relational database breathes new life into MultiValue applications and creates opportunities in the general IT marketplace.”
ONgroup specializes in helping organizations with MultiValue technology, such as U2 and D3, migrate to or integrate with standard relational technology, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2.
ONgroup, headquartered in Atlanta, has offices in LA, New Orleans, London, and Sydney.
