As a Software AG partner with the rights to distribute and maintain its e-business packages in southern Africa, the AST Group has established itself as a leader in the support of Software AG`s enterprise-wide systems.
Part of Software AG`s global strategy was to appoint partners that will assist it in growing its market share through strategic partnerships.
"AST has achieved this objective through its strong Software AG client base and with the largest skills base in Software AG products," explains Diellie Schmutz of AST AIS, the business unit responsible for the Software AG products. "Since signing the partnership, we have established a strong presence in mining, financial services, government and manufacturing.
"Through the Software AG products we service, AST supports our customers` strategic move to total business integration using enabling technologies like XML, which is the primary enabler of all integration technologies and applications," adds Schmutz.
As part of its commitment and support to its client base, AST recently presented an update on Software AG`s Natural 4`s features and business benefits.
Software AG recently announced the combining and enhancing of its products EntireX and Tamino to create a comprehensive integration platform. This will allow AST to enable its customers to create cost-effective, seamless links between their legacy systems, attaining levels of efficiency and performance that would otherwise require the deployment of completely new systems.
AST`s intellectual capacity, its business model and strong customer base form the foundation for the group`s integrated services solutions business.
Ideally positioned as a leading technology solutions company and focused on selected industries, AST unlocks substantial value for its customers. The AST Group - a trustworthy and innovative ICT company.
