Unify Announces Composer Sabertooth Win with Unit 4 Agresso

ROSEVILLE, Calif., Jan 29, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Unify Corp., a global provider of application modernization software, today announced that one of Europe's premier ISVs, Unit 4 Agresso, has selected Composer Sabertooth to migrate one of its ERP applications for the SMB market. The deal included the Composer Sabertooth application migration project as well as new seats of Unify's SQLBase and Report Builder software, and represents the Company's first Composer Sabertooth win in Europe.

Unit 4 Agresso is a leading pan-European producer of business software based in The Netherlands with EUR 320 million in annual revenue. They required a complete migration of a business-critical management application to Microsoft C# code in order to allow Unit 4 Agresso .NET developers to maintain and extend the application in the future. As part of the migration project, several hundred thousand lines of code, including the business logic, will be converted to C#.

"With Unify's Composer Sabertooth, we now have the opportunity to take our long-term investments in our application and move them forward into the future," said Johan Arensman, Director SMB Unit 4 Agresso Benelux, part of Unit 4 Agresso. "The potential ROI from this project is significant for our company as well as our customer base. And we are convinced that the combination of Unify's current and future technology is the strongest one in today's marketplace."

"Composer Sabertooth is the only solution that completely and automatically converts Team Developer code to Microsoft C#, versus the alternative of porting applications, which only emulates C# code and retains the locked-in proprietary code environment," commented Mark Bygraves, vice president and general manager of Unify's Software Group. "The migration will provide Unit 4 Agresso with a production-ready .NET application that enables them to fully integrate with their Microsoft environment, utilize .NET developers and leverage many additional third-party tools."
