<p>OpenBase Developer Connection helps developers succeed -- while cutting<br />
costs and development time</p>
<p>Program supports new and experienced developers -- from students and<br />
entrepreneurial startups, to in-house development teams to create<br />
cutting-edge Mac OS X applications</p>
<p>CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA -- January 25, 2002 - OpenBase International,<br />
Ltd., developers of the first relational SQL database on Mac OS X, today<br />
announced an extensive new program to help developers build solutions with<br />
OpenBase SQL database technologies.</p>
<p>The OpenBase(R) database has long been recognized for delivering both:<br />
scalable database performance and fault-tolerant data availability and<br />
protection. The newly announced OpenBase Developer Connection(TM) (ODC)<br />
program offers multiple levels of OpenBase Developer licenses and a variety<br />
of services and resources, including: access to ODC Tool Connection(TM) for<br />
publishing and sharing software; WebObjects and OpenBase Knowlegebases; a<br />
complete extranet application for tracking purchases and technical support<br />
questions; early access to OpenBase SQL beta software; and a substantial<br />
credit for purchasing OpenBase SQL deployment licenses.</p>
<p>"The OpenBase Developer Connection delivers a whole new level of support<br />
for developers designing innovative, next-generation applications for Mac<br />
OS X and other platforms." said Matthew Renda, Director of Worldwide<br />
Marketing for OpenBase. "Members gain affordable access to OpenBase<br />
developer licenses, and powerful ways to share resources, knowledge and<br />
source code with others. For example, we offer perhaps the most accessible<br />
archive of WebObjects mailing list information available online. And, with<br />
significant discount credits on standard licenses the program practically<br />
pays for itself."</p>
<p>"Our objective with the ODC program is to help developers create the<br />
software they envision, while reducing cost and development time." said<br />
Scott Keith, CTO of OpenBase International. "We want every developer to be<br />
able to leverage the full power of our database products."</p>
<p>"Mac OS X provides a rock solid foundation for developers to create<br />
powerful applications," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of<br />
Worldwide Developer Relations. "Developers have responded incredibly well<br />
to Mac OS X, bringing many powerful applications to the platform, and can<br />
now bring even more great programs to Mac customers due to the OpenBase<br />
Developer Connection."</p>
