Softtek and Firstlogic Expand Distribution Relationship in Mexico to Provide Greater Access to Data Quality Technology

Softtek, a leading provider of software development for Latin America, in conjunction with Firstlogic, the recognized global leader of data quality and postal automation software solutions, announced an expansion to their relationship that provides data quality solutions to the Mexican market. Building on a partnership the companies already had in place, this expanded alliance provides direct sales, implementation, and support of Firstlogic's industry-leading global data quality technology directly through Softtek's channels as a certified distributor.

Softtek and Firstlogic's combined solution offers companies a user-friendly and accessible process for data quality, supported by proven technology that allows organizations to profile, correct, standardize, match and consolidate data elements, as well as identify unique relationships within data. These capabilities help organizations better manage and benefit from the information assets already stored in their corporate computing environment, or the ever-growing flow of new information entering their systems.

According to Michael Keilen, Firstlogic's vice president of global distribution, the expanded relationship is the result of increasing interest in data quality among Latin America's leading users of technology. "We're seeing adoption of data quality best practices take on a greater level of importance than ever beyond U.S. borders," Keilen says. "Expanding our partnership with a proven organization like Softtek provides us a level of confidence that our joint Latin American customers have the support and access to technology they need to maximize their investment in their valuable data assets.

Softtek is a leading software provider of Software Development, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and business intelligence (BI) software implementation and professional services in Latin America. Softtek provides technology, consulting, support, maintenance, implementation services and training to organizations.

Miguel Iglesias, product director, Mexico & LCR added, "One of the most pressing problems that the Latin American market faces today is not having quality information to support its business processes. We see the same issues facing large, medium, and small corporations. In fact, not having reliable information is one of the main reasons that CRM and BI projects fail. This is why it is imperative for us to strengthen our alliance with Firstlogic, the data quality global leader."
