InterSystems Cach'e to be discussed at symposium

How many database vendors are growing in the current economic climate? If you`re counting using all the fingers of one hand, you`re far too optimistic. One database company that is racing ahead with all engines running while it is expanding across the globe is InterSystems.

"Our success is based on our high-performance database and rapid application development technology, CACH'E," says Henry Adams, country manager of InterSystems SA. "CACH'E enables users to develop applications in far less time than traditional relational systems, reducing time to market and improving return on investment."

The Butler Group agrees, noting: "Any organisation that is striving to cut development costs, without sacrificing reliability, will find a use for CACH'E, and the ease with which applications can be developed will come as a pleasant surprise to many."

Companies can put themselves in pole position and find out more at InterSystems` CACH'E Symposium, to be held in Johannesburg on 23 and 24 July and Cape Town on 25 July.

"We`ll be talking to executives concerned with lowering IT development and maintenance costs, while improving the reliability, functionality and longevity of technology investments," explains Adams. "At the same time, we`ll also be talking to the technical manager about mission-critical reliability and rapid application development according to the latest Java, .Net and Web services standards."

CACH'E offers seamless integration of relational and object database technologies, giving developers the power to build fast, scalable applications. Tests show CACH'E can deliver rapid performance, between 20 and 100 times faster than well known relational databases - it uses less memory and supports more users on the same hardware platform, reducing the overall cost per user.

Companies can find out how to boost their database engine, network with other users and meet InterSystems developers, management, senior staff and partners. The aim of the symposium is not death by PowerPoint, says Adams, but to exchange ideas and discuss how teamwork can deliver commercial and technical competitive advantages.

This year, the company is also celebrating 25 years of partnerships. "A large part of InterSystems` success is due to our partnering approach," adds Adams. "We assist partners in developing the highest quality applications and only profit when our partners do - when their applications reach the market. That way InterSystems wins, our partners win and most importantly, our customers win."
