OpenBase International Ltd. has announced the OpenBase Developer Alliance (ODA) at this week’s Apple Expo in Paris. The alliance is an enhanced program to support developers building and shipping solutions with OpenBase SQL database technologies.

It offers developers a choice of license options for the OpenBase database. Developers who distribute OpenBase database software as part of their software solution can take advantage of new embedded license options that reduce costs and eliminate the burden of having to administer licensing fees, according to Matthew Renda, director of Worldwide Marketing for OpenBase. ODA members embedding the OpenBase database in their solutions can also receive cash-back annuities when their customers upgrade to a multi-user OpenBase license.
ODA members can also take advantage of a wide variety of services and resources to help them take full advantage of OpenBase database features such as automated credit card processing or e-mail functions, Renda said. These include: an ODA Tool Connection for publishing and sharing software; access to KnowledgeBases for WebObjects and OpenBase technologies; an extranet application for tracking purchases and technical support questions; and early access to new OpenBase SQL beta software.
Developers can choose among five different levels of ODA membership, depending on the database features, tools and resources they desire. For details go to the ODA Web site.
