TEC and IMPLANEX Join Forces to Better Serve Software Demand in Latin America
Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC), a global firm that specializes in on-line software evaluation services, and IMPLANEX, a firm that supports organizations in developing and expanding business in Latin America, establish an alliance to expand local software options in their evaluation centers and respond to the growing demand from Latin American companies for local application selection alternatives.
Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) September 8, 2005 -- Due to the continuous demand
for local alternatives, TEC (http://www.technologyevaluation.com/press) has signed an
agreement with IMPLANEX to include Latin American software developers and
solution providers in TEC’s Software Vendor Network, to better serve its growing
end user customer base in the region. IMPLANEX will focus its efforts on
Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina, while TEC will
continue managing the rest of the Latin American market.
IMPLANEX (http://www.implanex.com) will
supply the local market knowledge and expertise, while TEC supplies the
technology, marketing tools, and specialized media for broad and local coverage.
“By the end of 2005, we expect to double the number of Latin American solutions
we offer in our evaluation centers”, explains Barry Melsom, TEC’s Vice
President, Global Marketing and Sales.
Since launching its services in
Spanish-speaking regions in March 2005, TEC (http://www.technologyevaluation.com/press) has supported over
6,500 software selection projects through its sixteen (16) evaluation centers,
which represent a total investment of $1.6 billion (USD). This amount represents
70 percent of the total investment in software predicted by IDC for the first
half of 2005 in Latin America.
TEC’s evaluation centers were created
using a unique on-line concept that allows users to put their footprint on the
process by defining their functional priorities, while a decision support tool
identifies software solutions which best match their unique business needs.
In Latin America, 75 percent of TEC’s end user inquiries come from the
manufacturing, energy, technology, education, finances, distribution, retail,
and government industries, while 65 percent comes from small and medium
businesses (SMB). Most projects evaluated relate to enterprise resource planning
(ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), business intelligence (BI),
supply chain management (SCM), and human resources software. Some of the most
requested local applications are Dynaware, Microsiga, Exactus, Intelisis, Meta4,
ADAM, Flexline, Kepler, Tactica CRM, Bitam, HR Pro, and
Softland.
Software providers who have a competitive offering and are
interested in expanding their operations in the area can start the process by
