BANGALORE, 11th October 1998
Chennai-based AmitySoft is set join a selected group of seven global companies which have developed software application using San Francisco, IBM Corporations software development framework.

The general leader accounting product developed by Amity will be jointly marked by IBM's international network. We support our developers to market their products in the international market and at every possible forum we give them an opportunity to publicize, said IBM's Sally Rogers who markets San Francisco in the Asia Pacific region. This is part of IBM's new strategy.

Among the 24 San Francisco licenses in India, Amity is the first to productise an application. It joins sever other companies from Europe, Japan, Australia and US which are beta testing their products in the market. The product include: enterprise resource planning software, financial management and human resource software workflow automation system, warehouse management software messaging system and accounting software. All these products are developed for specific industry segments and are not marketed as mass solutions, said Ms. Rogers.

San Francisco is a unique framework developed by IBM, which offers readymade application components for any business application. This has transformed software development more liked building a car wherein the core design and the structure will be built by the car manufacturer and hundreds of components are picked up from components are picked up from the market to bring it to the final shape and functionality. Similarly San Francisco has 850 business application components on offer today using which software engineers can easily build customized application programmes such as accounting package, inventory control and even enterprise resource planning systems. The components will be continuously added every quarter.

Ms. Rogers said India plays a vital role in IBM's strategy to proliferate its new technology. IBM is taking the CMS Ltd for a possible education tie-up which involve the latter extending its training, network across the country for San Francisco. The company is also talking to a technical university to include San Francisco in the curriculum of its computer engineering course.
