OTTAWA, August 24, 2011 — DataKinetics, a mainframe transaction and performance optimization company, today announced a reseller agreement with Blue Turtle Technologies, a leading technical and IT consultancy service provider in South Africa.

The agreement allows Blue Turtle Technologies to provide DataKinetics' mainframe optimization solutions to data centers in the African market.  For DataKinetics, the agreement provides an opportunity to further expand their international client base, and more directly into Africa.

"This is a very important opportunity for us to tap into the mainframe market on the African continent," says DataKinetics CEO Allan Zander.  “Blue Turtle Technologies is a significant player in mainframe and IT support for financial services organizations and insurers within South Africa. We’re very excited about this agreement, as it gives us immediate access to an emerging market that has seen very little of the type of mainframe optimization capabilities that DataKinetics’ solutions can offer.”

“Blue Turtle Technologies has partnered with DataKinetics to bring a solution to the South African market that will allow large mainframe operators like banks, insurance companies and government to save millions by optimizing existing IT resources,” says Alan Kuun, Business Development Executive, Blue Turtle Technologies. “The potential increases in operational efficiencies will help organizations to dramatically advance their IT productivity, thus allowing IT departments to take on far more projects without increasing IT staff levels.  DataKinetics’ optimization and modernization products profoundly improve the performance of their systems, to such an extent that more drastic measures, like large-scale upgrade projects, or complete IT infrastructure swap-out projects, are unnecessary.”
