Eynsham, Oxfordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/06/2010 -- Grid-Tools Limited, the leading vendor of test data management software and solutions globally, has engaged in a partnership with information solutions provider Green Light Technology, specializing in iSeries-Db2400 for the Latin American market.

Jaime Penagos, Project Manager for Green Light, said: “We are incredibly enthusiastic about working with the Grid-Tools test data management solution. We have been looking for this kind of technology for more than seven years.

“Yes, there are some other tools that claim to offer complete test data management, but these tools do not cover all of the options like Grid-Tools.” Green Light will sell Grid-Tools test data management solutions alongside their testing consultancy services specifically for Db2/400 users in Latin America.

Penagos explained what the partnership would bring to the market, saying: “Our customers have been interested in securing their test and development environments by not using real production data for many years now. This is especially the case for our customers in the finance, banking and insurance sectors.

“About 85% of these types of organizations in Latin America are using Db2/400. The ability to offer this kind of solution to them, specifically for Db2/400, is incredibly advantageous.”

Mike Cartina, Grid-Tools Director of Sales for the Americas commented: “I’m excited about our partner relationship with. Their expertise in the iSeries-Db2 400 has proven to help companies of every size in every industry to secure and modernize complex processes with their iSeries and AS/400 applications.
