GTI becomes Master Distributor of SWAN Vision64
Master Distributor, GTI, forms Distribution Network with Leading Services Provider, Atos Origin and COL Ltd., a Leading Services Provider for the Banking Sector
PARIS/TOKYO/ Hong Kong, November 28, 2001- SWAN SA (NASDAQ Europe: SWAN), a leading provider of Application Deployment & Business Level Management solutions, today announced that it has signed a major distributor agreement with Global Technology Integrator Ltd (GTI), a leading Systems and Network Integrator based in Hong Kong with offices in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. GTI will act as master distributor to resell SWAN`s Vision64.
This strategic agreement with GTI reaffirms the market`s recognition of SWAN`s technology as Atos Origin and COL Ltd. join forces with GTI to develop a distribution network providing the best- of-breed solutions to their customers- solutions that can efficiently, reliably and scalably deploy and manage mission critical applications across virtually any computing device or network. The uniqueness of this distribution network is characterized by GTI`s excellence in enterprise IT management which add significantly to SWAN`s implementation capacity and increase access to new potential customers. The combination of Atos Origin`s managed services experiences and global market presence with COL`s 30 years of experience in facilities management and disaster recovery in the financial sector will greatly expand Vision64`s distribution reach to major enterprises from different sectors, such as banking and finance, government, consumer electronics, refining and chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and utilities.
"Given GTI`s deep market knowledge coupled with this strategic new relationship with Atos Origin and COL, we firmly believe in Vision64`s immediate and immense success in Hong Kong. Over the past year, our presence in Asia Pacific has grown enormously which proves the leadership characteristics of Vision64 as well as major new opportunities for our technology in the Hong Kong market" commented Marc Duthoit, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SWAN.
"GTI bases its reputation on selecting the best-of-breed IT technologies and services to businesses for years" said Mr. Ignatius Kung, Managing Director of GTI. "We are very excited about GTI`s role as master distributor of SWAN in Hong Kong. This agreement with SWAN is a major step in our strategy to provide customers with the best automated configuration management solution and the lowest TCO in the industry. Even in an economy where anti-piracy legislation is tough, Vision64 becomes a linchpin for enterprises through its software distribution monitoring and metering capabilities."
Witman Hung, Country Manager of Atos Origin, "Being one of the largest IT services providers offering services from system integration to outsourcing, we believe that our partnership with SWAN will add significant value to our solutions for desktop, server and software management. With a worldwide proven track record, we are confident that Vision64 will play a significant role in the local market. We see Vision64 as a highly scalable product, providing immediate and dramatic operational cost savings by way of its highly reliable capability for automatically deploying and managing applications across heterogeneous IT infrastructures."
Tom Nixson, Director of Data Centre Services for COL Limited, commented. "As Hong Kong continues the transition from an entrepreneurial local market to a globally focused regional hub, demands on the IT infrastructure of local enterprises will increase dramatically. With almost 30 years experience of providing IT solutions to Hong Kong organizations, it is very clear to us that maximizing the value derived from network infrastructure is one, if not the, critical IT issue that local enterprises now need to address. Vision64`s strength in the areas of software, server and enterprise desktop management is exactly the kind of support these enterprises will need if they are going to respond successfully to the challenges ahead."
