Partnership concluded between Pironet NDH and Morse
Integration of
pirobase content management software
Cologne/Neu-Isenburg, Germany (ots)
The European-wide technology integrator and IT service provider Morse is entering into a joint venture with the software house Pironet NDH. As Europe's biggest corporate reseller of Sun's and HP's infrastructure, Morse is now adding the dynamic content management software pirobase from Pironet NDH to its product portfolio. The joint venture centres upon the integration of this product into a number of complex portal solutions. Customers planning to set up a content management system benefit from the fast and simple implementation of pirobase as well as from the many years of Morse's expertise as a system integrator.
Both companies have strategic partnerships with Sun Microsystems, Oracle, iPlanet and Hewlett Packard. This common point forms the basis of their collaboration. "Our e-business portfolio," says Hans-Peter Andresen, Managing Director of Morse GmbH, "comprises both the complete development of applications and the distribution and integration of standard solutions. The content management system from Pironet NDH is therefore a good way of supplementing our portfolio." Under its Fit4Portal initiative, Pironet NDH has only recently announced the integration of pirobase into the Oracle 9i application server and into the iPlanet portal server.
"With Morse," says Hans-Werner Scherer, CEO of Pironet NDH, "we have gained an integration partner who has excellent relationships with the companies we want to serve. In particular, this includes a number of major companies in the finance sector. We rely on Morse's consultancy and technical expertise, and we are starting joint sales and marketing activities."
Morse will be represented as a partner exhibitor together with Pironet NDH at Systems 2001, in Hall C1, Stand C1.221.
