BROOMFIELD, Colo. April 25, 2007 -OpenLogic, Inc., a provider of enterprise open source software solutions encompassing hundreds of open source packages, today announced a strategic partnership with CareBrains Inc., a leading Japanese provider of open source software application consulting, training, implementation, and support.

"OpenLogic and CareBrains will make enterprise-grade support available for Japanese enterprises using open source products," said Steven Grandchamp, CEO of OpenLogic. "CareBrains is one of Japan's leading open source champions--our partnership will help Japanese companies safely acquire, support, and control their open source software usage."
