Under the terms of the agreement, Nexaweb will enable MCR customers to take advantage of Web 2.0 technology through a unified software and service platform that converges Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) with existing standards, tools and infrastructure. As a new member of the Nexaweb SI partner program, MCR will focus on migrating business-critical applications, such as real time monitoring and control systems, to the Internet for major utility institutions – previously, such applications were extremely difficult to establish on the Web due to security concerns and high performance requirements. The partnership’s service and technology offerings will be jointly marketed and sold.

“We’re seeing a strong demand by utility companies in Japan to migrate existing client/server applications to the Web using highly secure, flexible, standards-based technology,” said Tetsuo Yano, IT system & integration manager at MCR. “We partnered with Nexaweb because their open, unified programming model supports our customers’ need for building industrial strength, information-critical applications. Our customers often maintain a broad spectrum of applications with various backend systems and Nexaweb is in the best position to help overcome these integration hurdles.”

“We’re already making significant inroads around Web 2.0 deployments in Japan’s financial industry and now through our partnership with MCR, we’re moving aggressively into the utility market,” said Brian Murphy, senior vice president, worldwide sales and services of Nexaweb. “For Enterprise IT, achieving the aims of Web 2.0 requires more than the adoption of popular Web 2.0 development languages like AJAX, Flash, Java, .Net and others. We understand that one size does not fit all and that’s why Nexaweb provides a better way to build, deploy and maintain business-critical applications – online, offline or mobile; browser-based or on the desktop.”
