Through this acquisition the specialist UK distributor, consultancy and software developer is now able to offer customers Java J2EE, Microsoft ".net" and Open Source web development alongside its existing portfolio of workflow, data-management and asset-management products and services.

Dr John Yardley, Managing Director, JPY said: "We are delighted to acquire JVolution and expand our services to include web development. As well as being able to develop bespoke web applications for our customers, we now have the in-house capability to customise "distributed" products from our own portfolio. Although "off- the-shelf" products like the Canto Cumulus digital asset management solution and HELIOS WebShare allow customers to "web publish" their assets far more cheaply than bespoke solutions, there can be a compromise on functionality. Now with the in- house capability to "customise" these products we can provide near 100% bespoke functionality at a fraction of the bespoke programming time and costs."
