EPI-USE has recently been invited by Novell to become a Platinum Partner. This is the top partner rating that can be bestowed on a `Business Expert Systems Integrator` partner.
EPI-USE, together with Novell, is very excited about the outlook for 2005. A comprehensive strategy is in place to penetrate the Identity Based Services market in South Africa. This market has been somewhat downplayed in the past, but is receiving increasingly more attention as security and governance compliance issues become more prominent. Application Integration and Web Services is a sphere where EPI-USE can advise its customers to effectively leverage technology, to hybrid current and legacy applications. With Novell eXtend`s integration capabilities and Novell eDirectory`s Identity Management functionality, EPI-USE can enable its customers to provide services in a secure environment.
EPI-USE is co-sponsoring the ITWeb Open Enterprise event with Novell, as Gold Sponsors. This event will investigate "whether Linux is enterprise-ready, through an interactive session involving top executives from leading IT companies". EPI-USE has full confidence that Novell`s Enterprise Linux solution, Novell Open Enterprise Server and Novell Linux Desktop , will be able to bout the toughest conversation topics.
Another discussion at this event will be `the need for clearly defined migration paths`. Through its previous Open Enterprise experience, EPI-USE designed the "Open Source Readiness Assessment Methodology" (OSRAM). This proven methodology helps the client determine its current status, with regards to Open Source, and also the possible best-fit migration paths.
