Sqribe creates worldwide services arm

Johannesburg, 26 Oct 1998
Sqribe Technologies has created a worldwide professional services organisation, formed to deliver a full range of technical development, deployment, education, and support services to customers and partners. Sqribe has also announced the initial programmes offered under its new Sqribe Pro/Active series of professional services.

The new organisation will focus on serving Sqribe`s global network of VARs, software and systems integration partners, and the Web-based, interactive reporting requirements of the company`s extensive Global 1000 customer community. Sqribe`s worldwide professional services organisation includes consultants, field engineers, training specialists and project directors, representing hundreds of man-years of experience in thin-client, enterprise server, client/server, database, and connectivity software.

The division is headed by Nick Caffarra, Sqribe`s VP of worldwide services, who joined the company in July from Prism Solutions.

"Sqribe customers have aggressive enterprise reporting goals and want to provide unprecedented levels of interactive access to enterprise information," says Ofir Kedar, chairman and CEO of Sqribe. "While Sqribe`s architecture provides an enterprise reporting solution to fulfill customers` scalability and interactivity requirements, our consulting talent provides the Internet, database, and distributed application expertise to accelerate and optimise implementation."

Sqribe`s services organisation will offer a series of value-based technical deployment and education services via the newly formed Sqribe Pro/Active series. Pro/Active offerings will enhance the ability of customers and partners to leverage Sqribe`s enterprise reporting and information delivery technologies in their business solutions.

"There is no substitute for a sound, step-wise approach to massive Web-based reporting deployment, based on practical methodology and best-practice metrics," says Caffarra. "A typical enterprise implementation of Sqribe`s technology encompasses thousands of end-users, information from hundreds of database and application servers, and spans both the intranet and extranet. Our goal is to help ensure a smooth, sustainable deployment that makes the best use of IT and business user resources."

Initial packages

  • Sqribe Pro/View: Pro/View is a package that provides pre-deployment proof of concept services to assist the top executive and technical management of large organisations before committing to an enterprise-wide reporting implementation. Offered as a custom engagement, Pro/View will encapsulate the Web-server and thin-client environment.
  • Sqribe Pro/Track: Pro/Track is a full technical education cycle designed to leverage and expand the capabilities of the key technical performers in the customer organisation who will be tasked with implementing SQRIBE Enterprise. The programme offers comprehensive formal classroom training, including advanced distributed computing laboratory exercises.

Sqribe offerings are represented in South Africa by Abraxas Software.
