Winpos Selects Birdstep's RDM Server for Their Point of Sales Systems
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 15, 2008 -- Birdstep Technology (OSE: BIRD), which offers state of the art embedded database technologies, today announced that Oy Winpos AB has selected RDM Server for their next generation Point of Sales (POS) Systems.
Winpos will use RDM Server to manage all point-of-sale operations in complex interconnected environments. "When dealing with larger customer installations the key requirement is to manage POS data across multiple instances of our systems simultaneously. With the quality and performance of the Raima Database Manager (RDM) products, we've made the right choice in our database selection," says Mikael Smedman, Technical Director for Winpos POS-Systems, adding "After years of success with the RDM Embedded product, we needed to scale up and make the move to Birdstep's high end product, RDM Server. With Birdstep's seamless upgrade path and compatibility between the products, Winpos could make this move without interruption and investment in intellectual capital. With such smooth transition our team could maintain our delivery plans, accelerate development of new required functionality, and satisfy our customer base in a timely fashion."
"Birdstep has been focusing on the interoperability and compatibility between our products to allow customers like Winpos to start out small and grow into our high end products. With a well defined upgrade path, moving both the application development and customer base of a RDM Embedded based system to RDM Server is done in a matter of days, and opens up a world of functionality," commented Duncan Bates, Vice President of Product Management at Birdstep.
