Comprehensive program expands revenue opportunities and reduces
costs for systems integrators and independent software vendors RYE,
N.Y., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mobius Management Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ:MOBI), a leading provider of integrated solutions for
enterprise archiving and records management, today announced the
"TCI Application Accelerator Program" (TAAP), a comprehensive
program for systems integrators and independent software vendors
(ISV's) that require integration of diverse content as a component
of their core offerings. TAAP is based on Mobius's Total Content
Integrator (TCI), the premier solution for connecting any content
source with any content user or application. TCI addresses vital
issues for solutions and services providers: the operational
inefficiencies, erratic customer service quality and rising costs
of using multiple proprietary tools and programming custom
interfaces to integrate content with applications. TCI expands
revenue generation and reduces the risks and costs of integrating
content. "Systems integrators and software developers that can
integrate applications with any content stored anywhere in the
enterprise have a competitive advantage," said Jim Biggs, Mobius
vice president of channel sales and marketing. "They will generate
significant new revenue and reduce their overall development and
support costs. The weak link in many mission-critical applications
has traditionally been the inability to connect users with all the
available information. Using custom API-based coding to integrate
repositories significantly drives up the costs of application
development, support and maintenance. TCI solves this problem,
providing seamless, out-of- the-box access to information located
anywhere in the enterprise." "To begin to effectively manage
unstructured content with the same rigor as structured data,
enterprises need to access content between repositories and other
diverse applications," said Kenneth Chin, research vice president
at Gartner, Inc. "Content integration provides access to a
federation of unstructured content repositories (such as images,
documents and video) that are dispersed throughout the enterprise.
Application vendors that can cost effectively embed this
functionality in their solutions will have a competitive
advantage." Approved TAAP participants receive a full range of
software and services that enable the rapid implementation of
content integration solutions. Program deliverables include: --
Implementation services: Mobius technical resources to assist with
internal and customer installations; -- Training for all functions:
sales, systems engineers, development, and customer support; -- Use
of the Mobius demonstration and development centers; -- Dedicated
business development support; -- Discounts on TCI software and
out-of-the-box repository adapters; -- TCI software developer's kit
(SDK) provided at no cost for adapter development. "We are pleased
to offer channel partners a unique solution for their content
integration needs," Biggs added. "The TCI Application Accelerator
Program will speed time to market and implementation while reducing
costs and risk. These are compelling benefits for our partners."
Support for Mobius's TCI Application Accelerator Program "By
integrating TCI into our e4/ContentMiner application, we can
provide a tool that enables users to search, retrieve and analyze
content from different archives. This is a powerful capability for
our customers and one that enhances the value of our application."
--- Stephan Schilling, CEO, Comline AG, Germany. "Few software
vendors understand the content integration needs of ISV's and
systems integrators. Mobius's TCI Application Accelerator Program
has what we need. The ability to easily implement functionality
that connects applications with information no matter where it
resides in the enterprise will create incremental services for us."
--- Desmond Dawson, CEO and president, Savail Consulting, Inc.
"Most organizations are finding it increasingly necessary to
develop a coherent and consolidated view of information across the
enterprise. By providing the ability for any application to access
data from multiple sources and present that data back via a single,
familiar user interface, TCI enables organizations to accelerate
decision making and develop greater business agility. Further, by
delivering a comprehensive, centrally controlled information
management solution, TCI leverages investments in existing systems
and supports a pragmatic replacement strategy." --- Nigel Hopgood,
Head of Compliance and Governance, UK and Ireland, Sun
