Dear HPe3000 Supported user, Gainsborough Software’s Commitment to 2010 and beyond: Gainsborough Software is a distributor for a number of software products which run on the Hewlett-Packard HPe3000 range of business computer systems. These include: MPEX/3000 SECURITY/3000 and VEAUDIT/3000 from Vesoft Inc, Los Angeles DB-General and SuperDex from Bradmark Technologies Inc, Houston GUI3000 and SQLLink3000 from GUI-Innovations, Bolton, UK The major market for all of these products is the USA, from where two of the three suppliers originate. Whilst most European Companies have plans in place to move from the HPe3000 platform by December 2010, many USA companies have developed no such plans and intend to remain with the platform until business pressures dictate a move. This movement is known as “Homesteading” and it has the full support of the majority of HPe3000 software vendors, including the three mentioned above. Consequently, UK users of our software solutions can rest assured that they will continue to be supported well beyond the December 2010 deadline (the current “end of limited support” date from HP) until the last HPe3000 system globally is switched off! All of the above suppliers have committed to continuing their full support to HPe3000 customers at the same level as they have always done, and Gainsborough Software will continue to provide 24x7 software support as long as the requirement exists. Yours sincerely For and on behalf of Gainsborough Software Ltd: Peter Griffiths Managing Director
