PRESS RELEASE
Northampton, England—October 8, 2008—Developers of the OpenQM
database, Ladybridge Systems Ltd and leading business intelligence and
reporting solutions provider, Management Information Tools, Inc. (dba
MITS) are pleased to announce MITS compatibility with OpenQM. This
includes the entire MITS product line; the flagship OLAP/BI solution,
MITS Discover® and MITS Report® for ad hoc reporting.
Improved Access
“We’ve talked to Ladybridge’s customers and heard rave reviews about
the power of the OpenQM platform,” stated MITS President Fred Owen.
“Furthermore, their commitment to innovation and attention to customer
needs creates a natural synergy between our solutions and OpenQM.”
OpenQM provides those looking to capitalize on the power of the
MultiValue (MV) database model a low-cost alternative without
requiring a sacrifice in terms of functionality and support.
Through an intuitive Web browser interface, MITS Reporting and
Business Intelligence solutions offer users unprecedented access to
data. “MITS has set the standard for Business Intelligence and
Reporting solutions for the MultiValue community and we are
enthusiastic about the opportunity to make these solutions available
to our customers,” comments Ladybridge System’s Technical Director and
founder Martin Phillips. “Seeing first-hand how easily users navigate
through report creation and analysis with MITS products, we are
confident of the benefits their solutions provide.”
Increased Value
By partnering with MITS, Ladybridge makes their value-priced solution
even more attractive to those interested in migrating to the OpenQM
database–eliminating concerns about compatibility. Resellers with
solutions built on OpenQM can benefit by integrating MITS Report into
their existing offering or provide MITS Discover and Report as
valuable system add-ons.
“We have always been focused on providing our customers with
exceptional value, both in terms of cost and functionality. Best-of-
breed reporting and analytical solutions from MITS extend the value of
our customer’s OpenQM investment even further,” Philips said.
