Johannesburg, 05 Nov 2004

IA Systems, a leading provider of content management solutions in SA, has been selected by Hummingbird Inc as its exclusive South African and surrounding regions distributor.

Daniel Hall, CEO of IA Systems, says: "We are excited about this new relationship with Hummingbird. We have been involved with them on a reseller basis for many years and have a strong belief in their powerful technology and ability to deliver solutions that provide real business benefit to our customers throughout southern Africa. This new model allows us to establish a comprehensive partner channel and cements the already strong support structures we have created for the product over the years."

Giovanni Evangelisti, Hummingbird Vice-President EMEA Sales, comments: "After careful evaluation of the prevailing market conditions in SA, we decided to select IA Systems as our distributor in this region due to their significant knowledge of our solutions and their highly committed approach to Hummingbird and its customers throughout the world. They have performed well to date and we expect that this performance will continue and increase as their channel model matures."
