Db Maint Signs Distribution Agreement With Nordic Computer Giant Data Construction

 


LAN Assistans & Konsulting AB announces that their flagship product Db Maint, a maintenance program for SQL Server, will be distributed in the Nordic region by computer giant Data Construction, according to a distribution agreement signed by the two parties on Tuesday. Db Maint maintains and preserves Microsoft SQL Server installations and its data.

 

Data Construction will distribute Db Maint in the entire Nordic region through its wide network of resellers. Data Construction is part of the Eiknes Group which is one of the leading IT companies in Scandinavia with more than 200 employees and yearly revenues of more than 50 MUSD. Data Construction is Sweden’s leading distributor of products and solutions for networks and communication.

 

We are convinced that Db Maint has a huge potential on the Nordic market. The program is splendid for small and medium-sized companies with SQL Server installations, but without their own SQL Server expertise. The added support for MSDE is an added benefit, said Jonny Sidestal, Product Manager at Data Construction AB.

 

Db Maint is an administration program for maintenance of Microsoft’s database management system SQL Server. The software contains several functions which significantly facilitate administration and improve performance of MS SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0, e.g. safer and easier backup, continuous reports on the conditions of the databases, advanced logging and presentation, and analyses and documentation of the SQL Server installation, including databases.

 

The new Db Maint 2.02 supports Microsofts database engine MSDE, which opens up new markets for Db Maint in especially the OEM field since software developers can now use the functionality in Db Maint to add e.g. backup and maintenance routines to their MSDE based applications, and thereby save a considerable amount of development time and costs.

 

Db Maint is developed and distributed by LAN Assistans & Konsulting AB. The software is primarily used by third-party developers and in medium-sized and smaller installations without access to SQL Server expertise. Db Maint has received excellent reviews and is featured in a 2-page Lab Report in the latest issue of SQL Server Magazine (February), where Db Maint is described as ”easy-to-use, effective and inexpensive”.
