What a week last week was for mergers and acquisitions. The word “tumultuous” comes to mind. But, at least in the storm, you know your tools are safe from consolidation. The MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench will continue to support all major technologies of Oracle, BEA, Sun, MySQL, IBM and other leading companies.
"Enterprises can't afford to halt development on their existing infrastructures, despite market uncertainty," said Wayne Parrott, vice president of development for Genuitec in a statement to the press. "We're proud to be the only completely vendor-neutral tool suite in the development space, and in these changing times I'm pleased we can offer our customers peace of mind as the marketplace evolves."
As consolidation rapidly becomes commonplace, many enterprises will find that their previously-sufficient tool stacks will now be placed under new requirements, costing even more time, money and headaches.
"Despite the perception of uniformity through acquisitions, everyone knows that integration through acquisition takes time. It's the nature of the beast," said Maher Masri, CEO of Genuitec. "In the mean time, work in the trenches can not stop in the hope of a simpler technology. Developers are caught in a catch-22 situation where they have to support a legacy solution until obsolescence or be forced to integrate at a high cost."
Genuitec is committed to supporting customers who are caught in the middle of current uncertainties. The MyEclipse support staff is ready and willing to assist users through this transitory period, and is available at http://www.myeclipseide.com/support.html.
Also, as a reminder, MyEclipse will be releasing Milestone 1 of "MyEclipse Blue Edition" in February. Blue Edition is a powerful IDE targeted at existing IBM RAD and WebSphere developers, and Milestones will be free of charge. All subscriptions and free 30-day trials include unlimited access to Genuitec's world-class, direct-response online support.
