Heidelberg, Germany – August 4, 2008 (CW) – Gmeinert Inc. (NYSE: GMT) and Ickert GmbH today announced the signature of a strategic and exclusive partnership agreement. The parties are looking forward to long-lasting and successful relationship.
The formerly independent solutions Sabine v. 3.2 and Frank v. 3.7 that have enjoyed about three years of plug- and- play activity are now merged into a single joint product, Gmeinert-Ickert 1.0. Over the last years, the compatibility increased significantly, so that today we can really rely on the delivery of end-to-end processes via a seamless integration. This stems as the result of a strong emphasis on excluding freeware and open-source propositions from other partners in bars and nightclubs.
The new joint product Gmeiner-Ickert v. 1.0 runs alongside the reliable and service-enabled platform Family and Friends, 3.0 and will be presented on Saturday, August 9, 2008, to a group of particularly thirsty experts in the Reilser Festscheune in Bammental.
The key functionalities for which the former solutions are renowned will remain part of this joint product, including:
- incredible sense of humor
- interactive communication skills
- 360 degree fun- runtime
- reliability
New features of the joint solutions are as follows:
- Rapidly increasing volume of Sabine 3.2 component
- remote diagnosis: dirty nappies can be sensed from distance
- limited system downtimes
- Service enablement of the Ickert 3.7 component
- Increased noise and chaos consumption of the formerly stand-alone Ickert 3.7 component
- Piracy protection through a visibly unique solid metal based restraining ring mechanism
Co-development activities have already started early this year and the release of a smaller composite application N.N. 1.0 is expected for early November. The new composite application is anticipated to be outsourced to Grandparents 4.0 during periods of system downtime. The strong partnership between Gmeinert and Ickert will provide for 24×7 support via a joint venture. Future co-development projects beyond N.N. 1.0 are intended, but no further roadmap information is available at this stage.
Dedicated marketing resources are currently vigorously working on a naming convention for N.N. 1.0. Joint go-to-market activities for the new composite application are envisioned for Neuenheimer Markt, Aldi and Edeka in time for fresh veggies and fruit, most likely on Saturday mornings.
We are all looking forward to a lifetime of decrypted communication!
