FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ref. #NRE2005-02
MONTREAL, January 27, 2005 — TECSYS Inc. (TSX: TCS), a leading Supply Chain Management (SCM) software company, announced today a partnership agreement to jointly create end-to-end wireless enterprise solutions with AppsGo Concepts Inc. based in Montreal, QC.
"Our existing clients in the rapidly changing supply chain management market will greatly benefit from the end-to-end wireless solutions we can now offer," said Peter Brereton, President and Co-CEO of TECSYS. "The partnership with AppsGo will also allow us to extend our reach into other industries that have the same need for a fast and cost-effective way to mobilize their enterprise business applications."
The two firms have complementary technologies that speed up two of the most time-consuming areas of software development: wireless user interface design and back-end ERP/SCM integration. AppsGo’s ‘write once, mobilize anywhere” (WOMA) framework eliminates the complexity and high cost of supporting multiple wireless devices and platforms and dramatically shortens the time to market and deployment of wireless enterprise applications. TECSYS EliteSeries’ Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) development environment provides the ability to access and manage corporate information systems and databases. By combining forces, the two companies will enable businesses to add mobile support to their existing enterprise applications and to deliver on any supported wireless platforms such as: Blackberry, Palm, PocketPC, Symbian, tablet PC or any handheld data capture devices.
"We look forward to working closely with TECSYS to deliver the next wave of wireless industry solutions the market is waiting for," said Normand Pigeon, President of AppsGo. "As the leading wireless carriers continue to build out their infrastructures and deliver much greater bandwidth for wireless data than ever before, businesses will demand greater enterprise mobility. Our technologies fit together extremely well and enable us to develop joint industry vertical solutions that will benefit many businesses."
Both companies have begun discussions with wireless carriers to introduce the tremendous benefits of wireless end-to-end solutions for their enterprise clients. The combined TECSYS and AppsGo architecture is key to delivering such benefits as "write-once, run anywhere", faster conversion of existing applications for mobile workers, rapid support for multiple wireless devices or platforms, shorter development cycles, higher quality transactions in less time and lower all-around costs.
Founded in 1996, AppsGo Concepts Inc. is a privately held software company based in Montreal, QC. AppsGo develops and markets the SlimUI™ technology that supports the "write once, mobilize anywhere" (WOMA) framework. AppsGo’s technology is based on fifteen years of R&D and significant technical breakthroughs in user interface design. Patents are pending on this technology around the world.
