HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 2003

Bradmark Technologies Inc., an established provider of data management solutions, today announced a marketing partnership with Beechglen Development Inc., a firm offering hardware and software solutions and support. The partnering of these two well-known HP 3000 organizations signifies a continued commitment to the support base for HP 3000 customers, well past the date when Hewlett Packard will no longer support that platform.

Beechglen provides enterprise HPe3000 (MPE/iX) & HP9000 (HP-UX) solutions and support for both the hardware and software environments. Their problem resolution team uses extensive experience and resources to deliver immediate attention to their customer base. Bradmark provides monitoring and management solutions for IMAGE, the database that runs on the HP 3000.

"We first learned of Beechglen through our DBGeneral customer base. They told us about the high-quality support they received from friendly, courteous and helpful people," says John Mitchell, VP of Sales and Marketing for Bradmark. "We were impressed with Beechglen's round-the-clock support, immediate access to experts on the first phone call, and emphasis on customer satisfaction."

"Beechglen guarantees prompt and consistent enterprise support through individual attention for each of our customers," says Mike Hornsby, CTO of Beechglen. "Bradmark has been in business for 22 years and is firmly established in the HP 3000 community. We are happy to be able to add them as a reference for the support and education of our customer base."
