Borland Software and IBM are teaming to boost development of database applications for the Microsoft .NET Framework. The agreement between the two companies, to be announced Thursday, is intended to provide customers with solutions for developing and managing the application lifecycle for .Net without vendor lock-in, according to Borland and Microsoft.
Officials at Borland and IBM both said momentum is growing for .NET.
"It's the rapid evolution of the Windows environment and Microsoft's growth into the enterprise, and we are there with [Microsoft]," said Jeff Jones, IBM director of strategy for IBM DB2 Information Management Software in San Jose, Calif.
