Cape-based Software Colors is to sign a partnership with German group Somacos, developer of management system Session.
The agreement, to be signed in July, will allow Software Colors to market and distribute the product in SA. Software Colors, founded in 1996, is an external service provider of application software products and services.
Session is used by governments, municipalities and businesses in Europe, and Software Colors MD Celestine Donough says the product can make a marked difference to service delivery by local, provincial and national government departments.
He adds that government representatives have attended several meetings with Somacos and have seen the value of Session.
"Government still handles meetings manually and needs to understand the value technology can bring to efficient delivery while limiting costs," Donough says.
"There is no interface between departments, which makes processes time-consuming and expensive. And because everyone is doing their own thing, there is a lack of transparency too."
This is not the first deal the company has struck with a European business. It is also the South African service partner of Tiscover, an Austrian-developed travel portal.
The company's clients include the Western Cape Tourism Board, Caltex, Woolworths, DHL, Nasionale Pers and Eskom Koeberg Nuclear Power Station.
