ASIX, Inc. AND NIMBLE TECHNOLOGY, Inc ANNOUNCE ALLIANCE

ASIX, Inc. Consulting Practice and Nimble Technology will provide clients with combined software and consulting solution.

Seattle, WA– For Immediate Release—ASIX, Inc., a leading IT consulting firm and software development company, and Nimble Technology, a provider of innovative, XML-based enterprise data integration software, announced a strategic alliance today. ASIX, Inc. Consulting Practice will deliver professional implementation services for the Nimble Integration Suite.

Under this Alliance Agreement, ASIX has joined Nimble Technology’s Partner Solution Program, and the two companies will actively market a data integration solution that provides direct access to business information that was previously cumbersome, time-consuming, or cost-prohibitive to acquire. The ASIX - Nimble partnership will benefit customers by overcoming the data integration challenges that impede successful implementation of business solutions. With Nimble Integration Suite the ASIX Consulting Practice will be able to deliver web services and applications that query multiple, disparate data sources and return a unified result, creating an even stronger customer value proposition.

“Our joint customer will be the real winner in our partnership with ASIX” said Suzan DelBene, Nimble Technology CEO. “ASIX’s expertise in enterprise data issues and track record of delivering quality software solutions make them an excellent partner to deliver the Nimble Integration Suite.”

“We’re excited about this partnership because the Nimble solution gives our consultants a unique and powerful new tool that differentiates our offerings and adds value to the solutions we provide our clients” said Jim Stewart, ASIX, Inc. Practice Director.

The market opportunity for data integration solutions is growing rapidly. Companies increasingly need to automate business processes involving disparate data sources – databases, data warehouses and non-relational data such as email, mainframe data, flat files, Microsoft Excel files, proprietary systems – to more effectively compete in a difficult economic climate. E-business has made it imperative to quickly build web services and applications that integrate data throughout the enterprise with data beyond the firewall in customer, partner and supplier systems. The Nimble/ASIX alliance addresses this multi-billion dollar market opportunity.
