Dear IBM U2 Database and Tools Valued Customer,
IBM today announced plans to sell IBM’s WW U2 Data Servers and Tools
assets to Rocket Software. As a global software development company,
Rocket Software’s R&D platform will enable us to better focus our
efforts on developing U2 products that help you grow your business. As
valued customers, you understand that our dynamic data record store,
Web services capabilities and low total cost of ownership make
UniVerse and UniData the right products for building flexible
solutions that can capture new markets.
This change in ownership is intended to benefit U2 products, customers
and business partners and will not affect your current relationship
with the U2 business. We will strive to make the change as seamless as
possible. I will continue to lead the business with my existing
management team.
The people with whom you have been working will continue to be your
primary contacts. The number you call for Product Support remains the
same. No pricing changes are planned, our email will continue to work
until we move to a new company network, and we will make sure you know
how to contact us throughout that process. Most importantly, the
development team will remain focused on the existing product delivery
schedule.
We will provide you with as much information as possible as the
transition progresses. Many of you have been our customers since the
days of Unidata and Vmark, and have seen the succession through
Ardent, Informix and IBM. We look forward to continuing our strong
relationship with you as our new company extends our reputation as the
best software infrastructure provider for easily customizable, high
transaction, zero administration web applications.
Thank you for your continued use of UniData or UniVerse. It’s going to
be an exciting time for our current and future customers!
Sincerely,
Susie Siegesmund
Director, IBM U2 Data Servers and Tools
IBM Information Management Software
