Stampede® Technologies, Inc. (www.stampede.com), a leading provider of acceleration solutions for Web-enabled Enterprise Applications, announced the appointment of MRA-Group BV, of Amsterdam, Netherlands, as a strategic partner for Stampede’s enterprise acceleration solutions. Under this agreement, MRA-Group will deliver the Stampede Application Acceleration Series™, along with Stampede’s various client technologies, including Acceleration On-Demand™.

The Stampede Application Acceleration Series is a family of solutions for accelerating and optimizing the performance of complex HTTP, SSL, AJAX and XML applications.

Stampede’s Acceleration On-Demand client technology is the first client technology to be automatically injected into the responses sent to the end user, without the need to install software at the client.

“As Stampede continues our growth, partners are a key to our success,” said Gordon Dorworth, Stampede Technologies President and CEO. “MRA-Group has a track record of success in the acceleration market, and we look forward to working with them to grow our business in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.”

“We, as MRA-Group, are very enthusiastic about our partnership with Stampede Technologies,” said Erik Stavleu, Director Global Sales MRA-Group. Erik further stated that “this is the final piece of the puzzle in our acceleration portfolio. The superior technology of Stampede’s Acceleration On-Demand is imperative for us, being the provider of the best acceleration and optimization solutions possible for our customers. This technology, and the strategy behind it, makes it a small step for our customers, but a giant leap for both our organizations, setting the standard for having applications perform no matter what.”
