Informix Software has entered into an exclusive agreement to market, sell and distribute the Management Information Tools Software (MITS) online analytical processing (OLAP) tool suite for MultiValue databases.
Developed by Management Information Tools as a low-cost, high-performance business intelligence solution, MITS is compatible with a wide array of MultiValue databases, including Informix`s extended relational databases, UniData and UniVerse (U2), which command three-quarters of the MultiValue database market, according to a recent Gartner Group report.
Informix South Africa will be marketing the MITS tools locally as soon as they are available, says country manager Simon Jeggo. "The MultiValue database marketplace is integral to the success of Informix," said Jeggo. "This agreement shows Informix is committed to supporting its U2 customers and helping them obtain ongoing return on investment. Solutions such as MITS can help them unlock the full value of their data."
Informix has exclusive rights to add MITS to its open MultiValue tools family, which includes Subject+, wIntegrate and RedBack, and will begin promoting and selling MITS through its worldwide channel sales force immediately. "Partnering with a market leader such as Informix gives MITS greater exposure throughout the MultiValue database community, particularly internationally," says Pat Gilbrough, president, Management Information Tools. "In addition to tapping into Informix`s tremendous marketing and sales organisation, this agreement validates the strength of the MITS tool suite in combination with the U2 databases."
Informix`s U2 databases have been adopted by more than 600 value-added resellers (VARs) and embedded into applications used by more than 2 million users worldwide across vertical markets such as manufacturing, distribution, retail, healthcare and telecommunications. Comprised of MitsServer, MitsMaker, MitsView, and MitsSecurity, the MITS interactive reporting and business intelligence tool suite enables users to easily summarise and analyse operational data for underlying conditions and trends critical to improving an organisation`s overall efficiency and profitability.
In addition to the U2 databases, MITS is also available on D3, jBASE, mv.BASE, me.Enteprise, SequoiaPRO and other MultiValue databases.
