strengthening of DataMirror's commitment to the Asia Pacific
region, specifically to the Australian market," said Angelo Lai,
Vice President of Asia Pacific Sales for DataMirror. "Already, a
number of multinational companies in the Asia Pacific region have
adopted DataMirror's advanced capture, transform and flow (CTF)

such as ours with Avnet Enterprise Solutions in Australia will
