Nexaweb Japan K.K. Partners With Hitachi Systems & Services for Building and Deploying Rich Internet Applications

Posted on: Tuesday, 7 February 2006, 09:00 CST

Newly formed alliance brings enterprise-class Web applications to the finance industry; Nexaweb continues to expand its presence in Japan with new SI Partner Program member

Nexaweb Technologies, Inc., provider of the leading software platform for building and deploying Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), today announced its wholly owned subsidiary, Nexaweb Japan K.K., has entered into a strategic alliance with Hitachi Systems and Services, Ltd. (Hitachi Systems), one of the largest providers of systems integration services in Japan. As a member of the Nexaweb SI Partner Program, Hitachi Systems & Services will leverage the Nexaweb Platform to build and deploy enterprise-class applications over the Web -- the new offering will be jointly marketed and sold.

Through the alliance with Nexaweb, Hitachi Systems will offer "Extended Struts for Nexaweb," an application framework enabling faster and more reliable RIA development. Hitachi Systems has already taken a leadership role in RIA development in Japan by successfully deploying several large-scale enterprise Web applications using the Nexaweb Platform. Moving forward, Hitachi Systems & Services will focus on developing and migrating business-critical Web applications for major Japanese financial institutions; previously, such applications were extremely difficult to implement on the Web due to security concerns and transaction-intensive requirements.

"We're seeing rapid RIA adoption in Japan, particularly in the financial industry, and by partnering with Hitachi Systems, we expect this movement will continue to spread across various market sectors," said Brian Murphy, SVP worldwide sales and services of Nexaweb. "We look forward to working closely with Hitachi to ease the development and migration pains of deploying enterprise-caliber Internet applications and we are committed to their success by arming customers with next-generation RIAs."
