Pervasive's Integration Products Drive Success Through the Company's Extensive Channel of Software Vendors Long-time Pervasive.SQL Database Customer, SUSTAIN Technologies Taps Pervasive to Solve Pains Around Data Migration and Integration AUSTIN, Texas, April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pervasive Software(R) Inc. , a global value leader in data infrastructure software, today announced that SUSTAIN Technologies, Inc., a provider of case management software to courts and other judicial agencies, has extended its business relationship with Pervasive to increase its purchases of the Pervasive.SQL(TM) database and to adopt one of the company's new integration solutions, Pervasive Data Integrator(TM). Along with thousands of other independent software vendors (ISVs) serving mid-sized businesses and departments of large enterprises, SUSTAIN has long deployed its applications on the Pervasive database and now is adding key components of Pervasive's expanded data infrastructure offerings to solve data and business integration pains. "Established as a supplier of data management software for tools and applications used by small and medium-sized businesses, Pervasive has a proven track record of providing software that serves the needs of that segment," said Carl W. Olofson, research director, Application Development and Deployment, International Data Corporation (IDC). "They understand the requirement for software that works 'out of the box' without requiring detailed set-up and maintenance. The Data Junction acquisition has not only added key data integration software to the Pervasive portfolio, but also additional knowledge and experience in meeting the needs of mid-sized businesses." "Pervasive's extensive channel of database ISVs, along with the mid-market as a whole, has voiced the escalating need for a reduction in the costs and complexities of data integration," said Mike Hoskins, vice president and general manager of the Integration Products Division, Pervasive Software. "Our new integration approach addresses this void through products which continue our tradition of delivering high-performance, flexible products with a low total cost of ownership." "Pervasive's technology and service allow us to utilize repeatable processes and replace the high dollar and difficult to manage custom coding typically associated with these projects," said David Smith, general manager for SUSTAIN. "Pervasive's products and team member involvement have already begun to augment our highly sensitive customer projects for maximum success." SUSTAIN, a Denver, Colorado-based subsidiary of the Daily Journal Corporation, has more than 175 court customers running its Justice Edition product built on the low-maintenance, high-performance Pervasive.SQL database. The addition of the Pervasive Data Integrator, one of three integration products released in early April, will aid SUSTAIN and its customers by constructing application interfaces with less coding and accelerating data migrations for high volume, continuous processing. Replacing the previous integration tools with Pervasive's open and scalable integration platform will accelerate SUSTAIN's customer success while reducing implementation costs. "Through the use of Data Integrator we can quickly aggregate data from our court case management systems into disparate applications running, for example, at prosecutors' offices and other law enforcement agencies," said Chris Forslund, manager of technical services for SUSTAIN. "Our partnership with Pervasive will also lead to connectivity with our system's API, adding bi-directional capabilities. The result is secure information sharing but individual data ownership of criminal-related records between various jurisdictions."
