The KeyTools Group has announced it has been appointed by Idion Solutions (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of JSE-listed Idion Technology Holdings Ltd, as its development house for systems based on the PALM Operating System. Thus, any new strategies and/or opportunities in the Mobile Space that Idion create/identify will be awarded to KeyTools.
In return, KeyTools will grant Idion the first right of refusal on any new business that they receive from Microsoft Mobile platform. Additionally, KeyTools will also offer Idion first right of refusal on any integration work for Microsoft and/or the AS/400 that they themselves haven`t the capacity to handle.
"This new strategic partnership with Idion, some of which is detailed above, significantly strengthens the position of our two organisations in the mobile market space, which we know will grow exponentially over the coming years," commented Richard Chalk, CEO of KeyTools. "We look forward to a long and successful partnership going forward into this very exciting area of development and change," continued Chalk.
"Our strategic focus is on Microsoft, and we do not want to dilute that situation," commented Andre van der Post, Mobile Technology Strategist at Idion Solutions. "However, we need to be able to access all mobile devices and not just those running Microsoft operating systems. To this end, we are partnering with KeyTools, who have a similar business commitment and focus, but oriented around the Palm O/S," added Van der Post.
