ALPHARETTA, Ga., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearNova Inc. today announced a bi-level partner program to help accelerate the adoption of ThinkCAP JX(TM) -- a rapid application development (RAD) platform for building rich Internet applications that combines the power of AJAX, J2EE and open source to help organizations and their developers quickly and cost-effectively build intuitive and responsive Web-based applications while leveraging skills and infrastructure already in place.

The new ClearNova RAD AJAX Partner Program will provide incentives for two levels of partners -- Consulting Partners and Enterprise Partners -- including sales incentives, access to products, knowledge and development at ClearNova.

"We're looking for partners that build real-world applications and want to deliver leading-edge AJAX functionality. As AJAX redefines the way enterprises think about business applications, we wanted to find a way to accelerate the knowledge, access and experience of this powerful tool. Building an ecosystem around ThinkCAP JX makes the most sense for us," said Edwin Stinson, COO of ClearNova. "AJAX development is complex if you don't have the right tools. ThinkCAP JX dramatically simplifies it -- bringing fast, easy web applications within reach."

By providing an intuitive visual design environment along with leading-edge AJAX functionality, ThinkCAP JX gives Java experts and non-experts alike an efficient, intuitive means of adding the power of AJAX to new and existing Web-based business applications.

"Part and parcel of our leadership in the development of rich Internet application solutions has been a strategy to partner with best of breed providers of RIA development tools," said Dave Wolf, vice president of Consulting at Cynergy Systems. "ClearNova's new partner program along with the incredible productivity increase in delivering RIA's with AJAX enabled ThinkCAP JX made working together a very powerful solution for our customers."
