Peregrine Systems, the provider of infrastructure management solutions, and Palm, Inc, the world`s leading provider of handheld computers, have announced a strategic alliance that will offer enterprise customers a solution to enable mobile workers to access critical information anywhere, anytime.
CCH Enterprise Solutions, the sole local distributor for Peregrine, will be rolling this programme out in South Africa, says Allen Lewis, Peregrine GM at CCH.
"South African companies have clearly bought into the vision of remote gathering of data for integration into enterprise applications," says Lewis, "and we expect the combined Peregrine-Palm solution to be a huge success locally."

Many time-consuming tasks and information exchanges will be conducted more efficiently with these new solutions, Lewis says.
