3733.0. "Looking for person in Digital that liases with Powersoft" by UNTADB::WALKER () Thu Mar 09 1995 05:00

Digital and Powersoft apparently have a "strategic relationship", an extract of
an announcement to that end is included at the end of this note.

I'm looking for the person (or people) who are responsible for talking to the
Pwersoft people. I'm after product information, specifically, I want to know
if (or preferably when) Powersoft will port PowerBuilder to OSF/Motif.

Does anyone know who I should be talking to?


Thanks,

John.



             POWERSOFT AND DIGITAL EXTEND STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP
                         WITH DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
 
           ...PowerBuilder Enterprise for Windows to be available for
                  Windows NT on Alpha and Intel systems ...
 
 CONCORD, MASS. -- October 31, 1994 -- Powersoft Corporation and Digital 
 Equipment Corporation today extended their strategic relationship with a 
 distribution agreement under which Digital will sell directly Powersoft's 
 leading client/server application development tools. The worldwide 
 agreement covers the entire Powersoft Enterprise Series -- PowerBuilder 
 Enterprise, PowerBuilder Desktop, and Powersoft's end-user products -- on 
 Windows platforms.  It will also include Powersoft's Enterprise Series 
 products for Windows NT on Alpha and Intel systems. 
     

    Powersoft were bought by Sybase at the back end of last year, so things
    may have changed, but according to the Alpha Migration list on VTX
    the contacts are Duncan Anderson @MLO ( Powersoft ) and Fran Murar @MRO
    ( Sybase )

    Bob Casinghino is the Powersoft account manager I've worked with
    in the past.  ASABET::CASINGHION, 223-1594, @MLO.
