Business Wire - March 24, 1998 09:20
OTTAWA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 24, 1998--Simware Inc. today announced that Interface Systems Inc. has joined the Simware Partner Program and agreed to license Salvo(R), Simware's web application development framework. Interface will now be able to offer their customers in the financial industry an easy, flexible solution for accessing critical business information from existing systems over an Intranet or Extranet.
"Our partnership with Simware effectively opens up a whole new market for Interface," says Eric Shishko, Interface's vice president for strategic marketing. "By adding Salvo to our current solution set, we can offer both potential and existing customers a powerful tool for reengineering the way information is presented to and utilized by end-users."
Interface will incorporate Salvo Server(tm) and the Salvo Development Suite into their soon-to-be released Integrated Computing Environment. Interface will use Salvo to help its customers create new business applications that combine and manipulate information from multiple corporate applications, platforms and data sources and present dynamic Web applications in real-time. Unlike web-to-host connectivity or emulation products, Salvo is a complete and proven visual development environment for creating serious, scaleable Internet-based applications.
"We are very excited about this deal," said Richard Crutchlow, Simware's vice president of North American operations. "From our perspective, this represents the next logical step in the maturation of the Salvo market. Interface, like many of our partners, can leverage Salvo within their established markets to better serve the needs of their customers, and use their knowledge of that industry to create 'packaged' solutions - especially in the finance and electronic commerce segments. Salvo will enable Interface to offer a tested solution with a much shorter ramp-up time than custom-designed
applications." |
