HandySoft Announces Cooperation with T-Systems to Bring Business Process Outsourcing and Management Solutions to German-Speaking Markets
Initially, sales activity will target the German, Austrian and Swiss markets, and will focus on existing HandySoft applications such as Government applications, AR/ AP applications, SOX solutions, etc. The flagship solution SOXA, for example, is designed for US-listed, European companies to help them meet the stringent reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If cooperation successfully develops, the sales focus could be expanded to include further solutions from HandySoft's BizFlow product portfolio, and other jointly developed services.
The BizFlow portfolio could be delivered both as a solution from HandySoft and as part of managed hosting or outsourcing services from T-Systems' e-business technology and managed service capabilities. BizFlow controls and optimizes core business processes, and has a global client base of organizations in finance, government, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Wendy Cohen, EMEA sales and operations director, HandySoft, commented, "We are confident that cooperating with such a respected European integrator as T-Systems will be successful and will significantly enhance our position in the German-speaking world. The combination of HandySoft's proven Business Process Management software and T-Systems' advanced web services and strong customer focus represents a compelling proposition."
"Europe's strengthening economic recovery is heralding a revitalization of investment in IT," Ms. Cohen added. "At the same time, European corporations are under pressure to tighten up internal financial controls in line with their US counterparts, and it is even likely that legislation similar to the Sarbanes Oxley Act will be implemented in Europe. We predict that Business Process Management solutions will play a key role in meeting these market needs."
