Companion Technologies begins embedded rollout of Entrinsik's Informer

Oct 17, 2006 - Companion Technologies of South Carolina and Entrinsik Inc. began releasing Entrinsik's popular Informer Web Reporting Software as an embedded solution into Companion's software portfolio this month. First-wave customers are already benefiting from intuitive Web reporting as Informer is integrated seamlessly into Companion's functionality.

Entrinsik and Companion Technologies worked together to integrate Informer with Companion Technologies' industry standard practice management line. Six hundred existing practice management customers will receive the embedded solution as part of a standard upgrade, and Informer will be sold as standard software to new Companion Technologies customers.

While Informer is also sold individually to IBM U2 database customers, this agreement boasts Informer's ability to seamlessly integrate with established software products. Combining Informer's intuitive Web reporting proves to be a useful addition to any ERP system running on UniVerse or UniData databases.

"We envisioned a tool for our customers allowing them to create, access, and share reports on top of our product line. After contacting Entrinsik, we found the best way to add this functionality was to integrate their Informer product into our software. They can focus on developing quality Web- reporting software, which they do extremely well, and we can focus on our core business - developing quality practice management software," said Dave McCord of Companion Technologies. "We're obviously excited to bring Informer functionality to our customers."

"Companion Technologies customers benefit from a pre-installed and configured professional reporting solution out of the box", said Doug Leupen, president of Entrinsik. "We are also excited this partnership will showcase Informer's ability to be used as a privately labeled OEM reporting tool."

Informer is a Web-based reporting tool allowing end users to intuitively and securely access data directly from IBM U2 databases and view the data in HTML, Excel, or PDF formats. For more information on Entrinsik and Informer, visit www.entrinsik.com.
