BROOMFIELD, CO -- 07/08/08 --
OpenLogic, Inc., a provider of enterprise
open source software solutions encompassing hundreds of open source
packages, today announced a new vendor partnership program designed to
enhance OpenLogic's support offerings. The partnership allows leading
commercial open source software vendors to provide support for their
projects to OpenLogic customers. OpenLogic also announced that
EnterpriseDB and JasperSoft have joined this new partner program.
"This is the next phase of our open source aggregation model where we
partner with leading open source vendors as well as individual open source
developers to provide open source support," said Steve Grandchamp, CEO of
OpenLogic. "OpenLogic continues to grow the depth of its consolidated
support for our Global 2000 customers. With this program we have also
created a new sales channel and source of revenue for our vendor partners."
OpenLogic is a pioneer in developing new, successful business models for
providing consolidated support for open source software. OpenLogic
provides front line enterprise-grade support across the 400 open source
packages in its certified library. In 2006, OpenLogic created its Expert
Community to provide additional backstop support -- paying lead open source
developers for support. Now, with this new partnership program, commercial
partners will provide backstop support for their projects and OpenLogic
will resell its partners' enterprise support offerings.
The first members of the program include EnterpriseDB and JasperSoft.
"Our partnership with OpenLogic enables enterprises to get support on
Postgres along with any of the other 400 open source packages in
OpenLogic's certified Library," said Andy Astor, EVP of business
development at EnterpriseDB. "In addition, it opens up a new channel for
EnterpriseDB to reach Global 2000 organizations."
"OLEX has made a large impact on open source adoption in the global 2000,"
said Jose Morales, VP of business development at Jaspersoft. "We are
pleased to be working with OpenLogic as companies are now enabled to get
Jaspersoft backed support together with support on other open source
solutions from a single source. OpenLogic will also expand our channel by
acting as a reseller for JasperSoft's Professional Edition products."
