Software Futures and Seagate product specialist Datasmith have forged a strategic partnership to provide corporate reporting and business intelligence solutions in the Western Cape.
Software Futures Cape GM Reg Swart says the partnership represents a coming together of two companies that operate in different horizontal market sectors.
"Software Futures has a proven record in the enterprise market and Datasmith in the midrange market, but the same vertical market through business intelligence," says Swart. "Complementary skills will provide a more complete solution for the companies` combined clients and offer depth in resources to meet the needs of large corporates in the Western Cape."
Datasmith is certified by Seagate Software as a value-added reseller in the Western Cape, offering training, technical support and consulting on Seagate Software products. Its core competency is Seagate`s industry-standard reporting software, Crystal Reports, and Seagate`s enterprise business intelligence solution, Seagate Info.
"As a corporate-focused company, Software Futures has established high-level relationships with South Africa`s corporate community," says Swart. "Datasmith is accomplished at delivering mission-critical Seagate software management solutions and training, both valued highly by the corporate community."
Datasmith director Brandon Mitchell says his company has developed key resources for delivering business intelligence solutions for insurance, banking, retail, distribution and local government.
"With Software Futures, we`ve forged a partnership that brings the best of both worlds to market in one consolidated, value-added package with significant benefits for both companies," says Mitchell. "The synergy between our skills and Software Futures` experience is the cornerstone to our success in the region."
The partnership is at work on large corporate accounts in Cape Town.
