jBASE is a multivalue database system. Description Copied from Pick operating system. jBASE was released in 1991 by a small company in the UK, then named James Anthony Consultants, (JAC), later to become jBASE Software Limited. Formed March 6, 1989 by Martin James Idle and Clive Anthony Ketteridge, the company grew globally throughout the 1990s. On December 1, 1999, jBASE Software Limited and its subsidiaries were acquired 100% by the Temenos Group AG, a Switzerland-based banking software house. jBASE was originally written by former Microdata/McDonnell Douglas engineers. Although it supported the MultiValue data model by default, jBASE was designed to allow the application data to reside in any database, not just its own. jBASE also compiles applications to native machine code form, rather than to intermediary byte code. jBASE is used in thousands of applications globally, including GLOBUS and T24 banking applications from Temenos. In 2002, Mpower1 International forged a partnership with Temenos and attained the worldwide support, distribution and existing client rights of the full jBASE product set with the exception of Temenos’ own application sales. The UK-based business empowerment company embarked on a major investment program by reorganizing jBASE sales and support personnel into an independent sales, marketing and support channel for jBASE customers and partners world-wide. The new 100% Mpower1-owned subsidiary, jBASE International, became the exclusive distributor of the jBASE software with the exception of Temenos application software. jBASE International is sister company to BlueFinity International under the Mpower1 Group umbrella. BlueFinity International is the creator of mv.NET, the foremost .NET to MultiValue connectivity and productivity aid for developers wishing to create state of the art application user interfaces and web services for MultiValue-based applications.
