March 10, 2004 — Bellevue, WA — ITTIA is announcing a change in its ODBC product line. RDMi, a tool for allowing ODBC connectivity for Birdstep's databases (RDM Embedded, Raima Database Manager, RDM, db.Vista, and Velocis) is now to be known as ITTIA ODBC. The name change is intended to emphasize the ODBC capabilities of the software and to assist ITTIA with branding efforts.
ITTIA ODBC is a solution to interface applications with third-party software as well as technology that provides stronger connections between internal or external applications and databases.
ITTIA ODBC version 5.0 will offer support for customizing "SETs" for applications developed with a network model database. In the past, ITTIA's ODBC solution was only compatible with applications developed with a relational database model.
The re-naming decision was based on ITTIA's effort to establish more name recognition for its software offerings. ITTIA ODBC has been selected and used worldwide for applications where ODBC industry standards are important. ITTIA's ODBC offering has directly impacted various clients’ bottom lines by enabling data access and analysis with third-party ODBC standard tools such as Microsoft Access or Excel, or Crystal Reports, which are common and popular for end-users.
For many years, ITTIA ODBC has offered prompt, reliable access to various applications. Highly skilled professionals are touting the benefits of ITTIA ODBC software at organizations such as Glaxo Smith Kline (a world leader in pharmaceuticals), Ohio State University (one of the United States most recognizable universities), Moody's Risk Management Services (a trusted provider of business services) and many others.
“ITTIA is as committed as ever to our customers,” said Sasan Montaseri, president of ITTIA. “We are truly excited about the upcoming innovations in ITTIA ODBC, and look forward to offering these new solutions to existing and new clients.”
