IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Vision Solutions, the industry standard in eServer High Availability and Japan Business Computer Corporation (JBCC), IBM's leading Japanese solution provider, have partnered in an exclusive deal resulting in Enterprise Vision Series, an ERP package targeted to SMB's that is made highly available by Vision Solutions' ORION(tm).
ERP and high availability solution providers have traditionally offered solutions designed for large enterprises that are cost prohibitive for SMBs. Enterprise Vision Series meets the needs of this market by providing a highly scalable SMB solution with enterprise class functionality. Asian businesses are facing increasing regulatory demands that make high availability compliance not just a business requirement but a legal requirement. Furthermore, key verticals such as manufacturing and finance have zero tolerance for downtime. By bundling ERP and high availability together, Enterprise Vision Suite provides the most advanced, flexible and cost-effective solution to help them meet these demands.
"In choosing a high availability solution, we looked closely at virtually every product in the marketplace," said Takashi Taniguchi, director and executive officer, Software Division of JBCC. "Vision Solutions' ORION was the clear choice due to its advanced technology, compatibility and solution orientation with JBCC. Our careful choice enables us to provide the most complete solution on the market at an exceptional value."
JBCC is IBM's largest Japanese partner with 40% market share in the Japanese iSeries market. The company will bring Enterprise Vision Series to market through their highly-trained sales force consisting of more than 300 people in 68 offices. Support will be 24/7 and includes fully-trained on-site staff in Osaka, Ngoya and Tokyo. By partnering with JBCC in this OEM agreement, Vision Solutions is able to gain a significantly increased route to market in Japan.
"We couldn't be happier that JBCC, IBM's leading Japanese solution provider has chosen Vision Solutions as their high availability partner," said Allan Campbell, regional sales director of Asia Pacific for Vision Solutions. "Enterprise Vision Series is easy to install, easy to use and aggressively priced. Plus, JBCC's expertise delivers this powerful solution to the Asian marketplace with a highly-trained team that knows the product, knows the market and speaks the language."
