RMSI and Oracle Ink Spatial Partnership

NEWARK CA, April 5, 2005: RMSI, a leading global IT services company with offices in the United States, United Kingdom, and India, has joined the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) as an Independent Spatial Systems Consultant, and as an international Member Partner with Oracle. Oracle’s PartnerNetwork is a worldwide business platform composed of companies delivering innovative enterprise software solutions based on Oracle software. The partnership agreement formalizes an established collaborative relationship between Oracle and RMSI dating to the late 90s. “RMSI already has a proven track record in implementing enterprise class solutions for a prestigious list of global clients using Oracle technology. Partnering with Oracle further compliments RMSI’s focus on building world-class solutions for our clients,” says Puneet Sharma, General Manager (Software), RMSI.

In related news, RMSI announces the formation of a Core Technology Group (CTG) within the company to focus on the Oracle 10g suite of technology, with special emphasis on Oracle 10g Spatial. The Group has begun rolling out highly competitive solutions that RMSI spokespersons describe as having enhanced quality at reduced cost.

In just one of many Core Technology Group (CTG) initiatives, RMSI has launched the phase-I set of its web services for webGIS. These services are based on Oracle database and mapping libraries and have been constructed as ready-to-use and easy-to-deploy sets of functionalities. This launch marks RMSI's first re-usable framework, which is intended to be increasingly used in future projects based on Oracle technologies.

Frameworks are reusable 'semi-complete' applications that can be applied to produce custom applications. These are tested, proven software designs and implementations, which reduce the cost and accelerate development speed and improve the overall quality of the software. RMSI's web services are standards based and represent a new platform on which developers can build the same distributed applications they've always built, but this time with interoperability as the highest priority.

RMSI figures in the list of 20 companies mentioned on the Oracle Partner website. More details on RMSI’s as an Oracle PartnerNetwork member can be found at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/spatial/spatial_partners_sys_integ.htm
