Inovis, a leading provider of supply chain communication solutions, and FullTilt Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise Product Information Management (PIM) solutions, announced a new strategic partnership through which each organization will co-market integrated solutions for improved supply chain communication and Product Information Management.

For Inovis the FullTilt relationship expands the reach of its data pool, data synchronization platform and information management capabilities by adding FullTilt's PIM and Master Data Management (MDM) processes and expertise. With the relationship, FullTilt will be able to offer its growing base of enterprise customers access to Inovis' Value-Added Network (VAN), software solutions and data synchronization services as a strategic extension of their solution portfolio.

Inovis focuses on delivering supply chain communication solutions that expedite the order-to-payment lifecycle.

"The capabilities of the Inovis portfolio extend our customers' investments through ongoing item synchronization and data exchange capabilities," said Tim Wallace, CEO of FullTilt. "Inovis' proven ability to support large-scale Product Information Management and supply chain communication processes creates increased value for our customers."

"The ability to extend key supplier processes is central to our customers' business requirements," said Sean Feeney, CEO of Inovis.
