Mertech Acquires Out of the Box Consulting

 

Out of the Box Consulting is known in the DataFlex community for providing complex custom software

solutions, especially on mobile platforms. We're very pleased to announce that Oliver Nelson and Tony Cabrera of OOTBC have joined the Mertech team.

 

With this acquisition, Mertech is in a position to expand its service offerings to include mobile application development and application migration services. We've had a long and fruitful relationship with OOTBC; making the relationship permanent was the next logical step.

Under this  OEM agreement effective worldwide, Mertech will be able to distribute Crystal Reports 2008 and 2011 its customers at less than the retail price of Crystal Reports available from other sources.  

 

With the release of Crystal Reports 2008, and changes to .NET based architecture, newer versions of Crystal Reports became unusable for Visual DataFlex developers. With Flex2Crystal's seamless no-code change approach, you can use existing Crystal reports without a design change -- saving you tens of thousands of dollars.
