Meanwhile, NeXT has some new Object Channel partners that it introduced at ObjectWorld last week. Canadian systems integrator SHL Systemhouse Inc plans to develop a range of project management, reporting and integration tools under NeXTstep, as part of an expanded ObjectWare programme. It will peddle them through its object technology centre, offering worldwide support for object projects. Defence industry supplier Martin Marietta Information Systems & Technologies, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, will work on telecommunications, financial services and government systems based upon NeXTstep. And NeXT is also to begin offering a new set of customer support resources under the name Object Experts. Object Experts will include full-time, on-site NeXTstep experts providing technical support, design and development assistance; integration and third party systems advice; review and reporting. Object Experts costs from $25,000 each month for up to one year.
