Tacton Signs Strategic Agreement With IBM Japan
Tacton Systems announced that IBM Japan Application Solution Co., Ltd ( IASC ), a 100% owned subsidiary of IBM Japan, has signed an agreement to become Tacton System's reseller in Japan. The reseller agreement includes the complete Tacton Configurator product line, and will complement IBM Japan's solution offering for manufacturing companies throughout the country.
IASC will supply Tacton solutions to the Japanese industrial marketplace, including the automotive, consumer electronics, computer, semiconductor, iron and steel sectors, through the sales representatives of IBM Japan and its business partners.
For Tacton Systems, this development represents a further strengthening of its close working relationship with IBM PartnerWorld Industry Networks, in which the two companies combine to deliver open and flexible solutions for the manufacturing industry.
The IASC/Tacton Systems agreement will also increase Tacton's regional presence - the company has an existing independent agreement with JAIEL, Korea's largest IBM Business Partner, and one of the country's largest product lifecycle management (PLM) specialists. The addition of Tacton Configurator complements JAIEL's total solution offering for manufacturing companies.
"The agreement with IBM Japan Application Solution Co., Ltd. is an important opportunity for us to create a strong presence in one of the world's foremost manufacturing and engineering hubs," says Christer Wallberg, Tacton Systems CEO. "This is a major milestone for Tacton Systems and we are very pleased at being able to extend our global co-operation with IBM."
