"With Ritmo for iSeries 3.0, HiT Software shows its continuing commitment to the .NET platform," said HiT Software CEO Giacomo Lorenzin (pictured) as the company today announced the release of Ritmo for iSeries 3.0. "As the .NET platform gains momentum," Lorenzin continued, "we see a lot of companies that rely on the IBM iSeries developing .NET Framework-based applications to access their corporate data."

"Ritmo is the best provider to connect to data residing on the IBM iSeries, because of its tight integration with Visual Studio .NET, as well as its robustness, speed and security," Lorenzin continued.

"Its treelike structure allows developers to find and manage objects in the database quickly and easily," Lorenzin said. Ritmo for iSeries 3.0, he added, is the top middleware bridge between Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and the popular IBM iSeries/AS400 platform. HiT Software is also one of the early members of Microsoft's Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program and of the Midrange Alliance Program (MAP).

Tight VS.NET integration combined with HiT Software's high performance implementation of the IBM iSeries Optimized Database Server (ODBS) protocol significantly speeds the time necessary to write, debug and test code to retrieve, insert and update data stored in the iSeries database, Lorenzin explained.

Features include graphical tools such as sophisticated designers and wizards that generate code, a command editor, and a data connections explorer as well asa navigation window for working with iSeries databases and database objects (database explorer).

Ritmo for iSeries 3.0 also offers integration with Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. From within Reporting Services, users can select Ritmo as a data source to connect to DB2 running on iSeries, and generate reports. These data processing extensions add functionality to both the Report Server and Report Designer, enabling seamless integration of custom data into reports.

Fully operational trial versions are downloadable from the HiT Software web site at: http://www.hitsw.com/products_services/downloads.html.
