Mainz, Germany, June 2006 – SYSGO AG, a leading European provider of embedded system
software, announces US distributor ACT/Technico Inc. and UK reseller Hitex Ltd. as new "Certified Distribution Partners". These latest partnerships enable SYSGO to expand its international distribution channels into
the USA and UK. In the course of SYSGO's successful growth strategy, the specialist for embedded software is strengthening its position especially in the USA.
ACT/Technico will offer SYSGO's virtualization
software PikeOS and the Linux based real time operating system ELinOS exclusively for the US market. The specialist for hardware and software integration for the US aerospace and defense markets will act as a
distribution partner who additionally offers first level support to customers.
Already delivering embedded software solutions, Hitex completes their portfolio for the UK market by adding PikeOS, ELinOS and
CODEO, SYSGO's Eclipse-based integrated development environment. Training courses have already been successfully completed with both partners.
High-level Security at ACT/Technico
ACT/Technico is a
customer-oriented, market-driven firm specializing in hardware and software integration services as well as products and systems developed for the embedded computing industry. ACT/Technico focuses on the military,
aerospace and defense sector. One of the crucial factors that lead to the cooperation was SYSGO's ability to provide highly secure products. "The technical maturity and high quality of SYSGO' solutions guarantee us
the level of security that is required in our key markets", confirms Ken Grob Vice President from ACT/Technico.
ACT/Technico obtained the exclusive rights for the distribution of SYSGO's products and systems
throughout the United States. "What finally made the case for ACT/Technico is their versatility: They offer comprehensive services and excellent first level support", highlights Knut Degen, CEO of SYSGO.
