Actify, the global leader in digital design communication solutions, with over 8 000 discrete manufacturing companies as customers, and more than 20 000 licences on active maintenance, today announced that the company has expanded its global channel by entering into a new reseller agreement with Automated Product Development (APD), a premier provider of solutions and services in South Africa.

“We're pleased to have APD on board,” said Chris Jones, President of Actify. “The need for a solution that provides product data anywhere has become more integral in the manufacturing industry and Actify is positioned well to meet this requirement. Our partnership with professionals like APD helps us in our initiative to provide proven software solutions worldwide and with APD's outstanding reputation, we are confident that businesses in South Africa that have a need to share their product data will benefit from the Actify solution.”

APD has proven expertise in providing services in product design, product development, system integration, and many more. Under the terms of the agreement, APD will market and sell the Actify products within South Africa, making the company's products and solutions available to all technical and non-technical users who need access to all data including 3D and 2D.
