Indonesian Solutions Developer Partners With Global Modeling Tool Company

CRESWICK, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 18, 2012) - Sparx Systems, a leading vendor of modeling tools based on open standards, is pleased to announce that Bali based leading mining solutions developer Mitrais, has recently become a valued partner.

Mitrais will use Enterprise Architect for all internal systems and product development and will recommend the popular visual modelling and design tool to those customers who have not yet adopted a preferred tool.

A leading software developer with 400 employees, Mitrais is a premier near shore provider to Australian software developers and has a strong presence in the Indonesian domestic market. The Indonesian mining sector ranks in the top 10 global producers for four minerals and is the worlds second largest thermal coal producer.

"We are delighted to have such a dynamic software developer as Mitrais as our most recent partner," said Ken Harkin, Business Development Manager for Sparx Systems. "This is a company that is very well respected in both Indonesia and Australia and we are excited about this new association. We look forward to working with Mitrais and in supporting the company's strong business track record in Indonesia and beyond."

"Mitrais have found Enterprise Architect to be one of the most cost effective tools on the market and it is functionally competitive with tools costing 10 times as much. To that end we are placing an order that will license all software engineers, MMS business consultants and project managers. Our software development processes now require the use of Enterprise Architect for all internal systems and product development and we highly recommend its use where a client has no preferred tool," Ken McClellan, Mitrais CTO, stated.

Enterprise Architect is Sparx Systems flagship product and continues to grow in popularity with continued adoption by global standards developers and industry domains. Enterprise Architect 10, the latest version from Sparx Systems, is now available and can be downloaded at: http://www.sparxsystems.com/ea10.
