A Message from Raima RAIMA thanks you for your business in 2010! Birdstep Technology Inc.
formally changed its name to Raima Inc. earlier this year. Those of you who
have been with us for a while probably remember that Raima was the original
name of the company when it was founded in 1982. Additionally, in late August
this year, Raima Inc. was divested from its parent company Birdstep
Technology ASA through a management buyout. I am truly pleased to announce
that we are now an independent company where the main focus will continue to
be data management. This is a very exciting time for everyone here at Raima;
some of the excitement will result in new product announcements in Q1 2011. One thing that hasn't changed
is our commitment to conduct business with uncompromising honesty and integrity.
Our sole focus is to provide our customers and the development community with
advanced technology with superior quality, value and service. This includes
the development of the most innovative and reliable database solutions to
meet our customer's growing needs. We are also dedicated to recognizing the
great value of our employees and will continue to develop their diverse
talents, initiative and leadership. Raima 2011 RDM Embedded 10.0 was a huge
undertaking by our Engineering team. The result is an advanced, flexible and
extendable version of our widely deployed RDM database product. RDM Embedded
has the high reliability you expect of a product that has been deployed
worldwide over the past 25 years. Going forward, Raima will continue to
develop RDM Embedded and RDM Server to meet the growing and emerging
requirements in areas such as distributed databases, interoperability, high
availability and scalability. The Economy and Raima 2010 has been a challenging
year for many businesses. I predict that 2011 will be a year where frugality
is still a focus of most companies. Yet I see that there are some rays of
sunlight flickering through those dark clouds. When the Raima 2010 books are
closed they will show that we increased our revenue compared to last year by
9% and with a positive EBITDA. We thank you our loyal customers for your
trust and commitment in Raima. We are committed to supporting your business
goals and will help you to develop and bring even more competitive products
to the market in a timely and cost effective manner. |
Once again, thank you for your business in
2010. We are looking forward to 2011 and will do our utmost to exceed your
expectations of our products, support and our organization. If you have any thoughts or ideas in how we
can make Raima better let me know by dropping me an email at
steinar.sande@raima.com - I would highly appreciate your thoughts. Happy Holidays and Prosperous New Year from
all of us at Raima. Best Regards, Steinar A Message from Bill Houglum, Anxiety will surface when experienced software development
managers hear the words "extensive re-design" associated with a
software product that they may depend upon. The good news for anxious
development managers is that there are two key factors supporting our
excitement and confidence with the release of RDM Embedded 10.0. The first key factor is the simplified configuration.
Fewer choices allows for wider and deeper coverage of the product in those
configurations. The simplified configuration has allowed more extensive
integration into our automated build and test framework. Not only does
simplified configuration allow for easier integration into the test
framework, it also allows for easier integration into the customer application.
The second key factor is automated test framework. The
reduction of configuration options allowed easier integration into the
automated build and test framework. The core engine and components currently
are executing nearly 103 million test cases during an automated test run
providing over 85% coverage of the database engine (lines of code). The
automated build system is generating 150 installation packages. Test
automation currently covers 90% of the testing on 144 of the installation
packages on 18 operating system platforms and architectures. Automation means
more time writing tests rather than running tests. Regards, Bill Raima in the News Future looks bright for Raima Inc.
with management purchase of the database business from parent company
Birdstep Technology ASA The management team of Raima Inc. has successfully
completed the purchase of the embedded database business from the parent
company Birdstep Technology ASA. |
