visionapp Begins Expansion Into Eastern European Markets...

visionapp, the server-based solutions specialist, today announced it has signed a strategic partnership with Czech IT solutions provider, OrBit Company. Under the terms of the contract, OrBit will act as visionapps exclusive partner for the Czech Republic, as well as providing visionapp solutions on an non-exclusive basis to customers throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The contract opens up so far unseen possibilities of available and reliable information solutions together with high information protection to key companies, organisations and state institutions throughout Eastern Europe.

visionapp has a blue chip customer base and a strong presence in Financial Services with six of the ten largest banks in Germany using visionapp. With almost 70,000 seats worldwide, visionapp customers include companies such as Deutsche Bank, Daimler Chrysler Bank, Dresdner Bank, BW Bank, Bayerische Landesbank, RWE Innogy and L'Oral. iZBSOFT, the largest server-based computing site in the world, uses visionapp products to manage its server-based computing environment. Since its expansion outside of the German market, visionapp already has a channel partner programme in place in the UK and is now looking to expand its presence throughout Eastern Europe.

Tomas Novotny, Regional Manager at visionapp said: "OrBit has signed several key contracts in the banking sector recently, such as HVB, as well as in the field of civil engineering, with SKANSKA CZ. The company has both the commercial breadth and technical expertise to take visionapp products into the Eastern European market and we look forward to a rewarding and expanding partnership.

Our customers are putting much more emphasis on reliability, availability and security of their information solutions, said Tom Janovsk, Marketing Manager at OrBit Company. We had been searching for a partner that would add to our experience and had products that could guarantee meeting these requirements, and, at the same time, have experience with major contracts. We look forward to expanding visionapps market share here in the Czech Republic and soon also throughout the region of Central and Eastern Europe."
