Beyond 20/20 and Dundas announce partnership to combine reporting and charting OLAP packages

OTTAWA – May 10, 2004 - Beyond 20/20, the leading developer of software solutions designed specifically for data dissemination, has partnered with Dundas Software Ltd., the recent winner for Best Charting and Graphical Tool award in the 2004 ASP.NET Pro Magazine Reader's Choice Awards. The goal of the partnership is to extend Beyond 20/20’s Web-based data analysis and visualization tools by adding the powerful charting package developed by Dundas.

“This partnership comes at the right time,” said Howard Nadler, president of Beyond 20/20 Inc. “Vista, our recently released Web-based MS OLAP solution, provides our customers with an easy-to-use analysis tool, but with Dundas’ charting package we can offer very powerful visualization tools as well. Most importantly, Dundas is an excellent fit because it has been following a near-parallel path to Beyond 20/20 with its technological advancements in converting its product to .NET.”

Dundas is a data visualization software company that builds Web-enabled charting solutions. In November, Dundas Chart for .NET was chosen by Microsoft for inclusion in SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. “Our technology partnership with Beyond 20/20 is an excellent example of how two thought leaders can leverage each other’s strengths,” says David Cunningham, president & CEO of Dundas Software. “Dundas is tightly focused on creating advanced data visualization engines and together with Beyond 20/20’s strong Enterprise domain knowledge and technical expertise, we see a stunning win in the works.”

The Dundas Chart for .NET (Enterprise edition) software will be integrated with Beyond 20/20 Vista. Beyond 20/20’s research and development team is currently working out the technical details surrounding the integration of the two products. The solution is expected to be complete by late summer this year.
