PRIME Software 2006i version, developed by Cebu-based Primary Software Development Corp., has passed two international software tests.
Last June 15, the 2006i, which was designed to work consistently on both LAN/Internet networks, passed the “Microsoft platform test for ISV Solutions” on Windows Clients and SQL Server 2005, tagged as product identification number 0702094589.
Testing was conducted independently by VeriTest (veritest.com) of Lion-bridge Technologies, a leading testing service provider officially contracted by Microsoft to test software developed by independent software vendors (ISV).
The test is one of the requirements to become a Microsoft Certified ISV Partner.
On Oct. 31, 2006, the 2006i passed Oracle’s Linux Enterprise Application Porting Center Program test and was certified “Red Hat Ready” by Oracle. The test is also one of the requirements to become an Oracle ISV Partner.
Better quality
The development shows that Cebusoft, a Cebu-based association of software developers —of which Primary Software is a member— is successful in its efforts to improve the quality of homegrown software.
The general impression that locally made software is of poor quality or inferior will be a thing of the past. Now, local software quality can be at par with international software counterparts.
Cebu-based small and medium enterprises can help the local software development industry grow by patronizing software developed by Cebu-based developers instead of limiting themselves to foreign brands.
Home-grown software is not only affordable but also enables users to obtain customization and prompt after-sales service. (PR)
