MITI Expands Support in the Asia/Pacific Region
with New Partner, MBS
Australia's Leading MultiValue and IBM U2 Distributor, Meier
Business Systems, will provide MITS expertise in Australia, New Zealand
and South East Asia
SEATTLE, WA, June 9, 2004 - Management Information Tools, Inc., and
Meier Business Systems (MBS), with offices in Sydney and Melbourne,
Australia, announced an agreement establishing MBS as a source for MITS
maintenance, support and upgrades in Australia, New Zealand and South
East Asia. Under the agreement, MBS will also be a local resource for
first and second line support to MITS customers.
"The MultiValue market in Asia Pacific is very active, and developing a set
of customer relationships in this region is an important part of our
overall business strategy," said Fred Owen, MITI's General Manager. "MBS
is the right partner for MITI, with an experienced, professional staff
and a stellar reputation for outstanding customer support. They will
enable us to broaden our reach, deliver much needed data reporting
solutions and consulting to this market, and ultimately succeed in the
Asia Pacific region."
"We are proud to have MITI as our partner, and to add the support of its
world-class OLAP/BI products to our portfolio," said Martin Meier,
Managing Director, MBS. "MITS compliments our core product and service
offerings and provides our reseller network with an excellent
opportunity to also add value to their end-users. We feel confident
about this agreement because of MITI's innovative next-generation
technology and strong commitment to support and service."
MBS has been selling the MITS product for many years as an IBM
distributor. It is now authorized to provide phone, fax and email
support and troubleshooting services directly to any MITS user in
Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. In addition to using MBS as
their source for MITS products, customers now have the expanded option
of using the MBS support team as their local source for MITS support,
maintenance and upgrades.
"MBS has a long-standing record of providing first and second level
support and consulting services to the MultiValue community in the Asia
Pacific region," Owen said. "With its existing support infrastructure,
experience, and in-house technical skills, this new support partnership
is a natural fit for MBS and solidifies its position as the regional
MITS expert."
In 2001, having been a successful IBM hardware and software Business
Partner for almost 10 years, MBS was appointed by IBM as a distributor
for all U2, MITS, SB, RedBack and associated products. Shortly after
that, MBS acquired the Australian SB Tech U2 and SB distribution
business. As an integral part of the ongoing delivery of product and
support in the region, MBS provides product licenses, support,
maintenance, education and many other products and services to its vast
reseller network and end user community.
MBS has held a number of road shows and events around Australia
showcasing MITS. Meier explained: "Our intention is to encourage the
majority of our resellers to integrate MITS as a value-add into their
application. This is already in progress with the Masterpack
distribution and warehousing application packages - a leading ERP
solution developed in UniVerse and SB+."
