Kronva and Prima Donna Consulting, the UK’s premier providers of Sybase database consultancy services, today announced a teaming agreement for a joint market approach within the UK and internationally.

The agreement extends the complementary capabilities of both companies for even more valuable client outcomes. The teaming agreement also adds flexibility for clients as their services can now be engaged either as a supplier or as an independent contractor to improve performance, reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), eliminate headaches, and make Sybase systems shine.

Mike Evans, Founder of Kronva, said: “We are delighted today to formalise the longstanding informal arrangement we've had with Prima Donna Consulting. Joe is probably the best Sybase database engineer in the world and this agreement brings together two successful service providers who are fellow travellers in their values, approaches, and commitments to excellence. Our proven track records mean even greater things when combined for our clients who now have a best-of-breed option for their Sybase systems. The whole team are excited to be working with Joe".

Joe Woodhouse, Founder of Prima Donna Consulting, said: “Kronva has always been a centre of excellence for all things Sybase, they are the UK’s leading service provider for Sybase database products, and their consulting bench is world class. It’s an honour to work more closely with Mike and his team after years of collaboration. Kronva brings 24x7 coverage, managed services, and economies of scale beyond what I or any individual can provide. This is a clear win for the entire Sybase market as we continue to bend Sybase deployments away from underachievement and towards masterful wins.”
