SEEBURGER Expands APAC Presence with New Strategic Partner in Malaysia
TIME Engineering Berhad Brings Representation in Key Southeast Asian Market
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and ATLANTA, Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global business integration solution provider SEEBURGER today announced a strategic partnership agreement with TIME Engineering Berhad (TEB), a leading IT infrastructure solutions provider in Malaysia. The agreement gives SEEBURGER its first reseller and implementation partner in the Malaysian market, the third largest economy in southeast Asia and the 29th largest economy in the world, while also increasing penetration in the Asia-Pacific region where SEEBURGER already has a significant presence in countries including China, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.
TEB's technology focus includes a robust e-commerce portfolio with trade facilitation tools that electronically connect more than 8,000 entities including importers, exporters, manufacturers, forwarding and shipping agents, terminal and port operators, banks, port authorities and permit issuing agencies as well as the Royal Malaysian Customs to support the country's strong international trade business. The company and its subsidiaries also provide managed security, systems integration, data center and other services to various Malaysian government agencies as well as regional businesses.
The SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) complements that portfolio by providing business integration applications and services that enable enhanced supply chain services and secure managed file transfer. Specifically:
- SEEBURGER B2B Gateway, a BIS component and advanced B2B/EDI platform that has been automating trading partner communications for businesses worldwide for more than two decades, will expand TEB's e-commerce capabilities for both subsidiaries and customers.
- SEEBURGER Managed File Transfer (MFT), a BIS component that encrypts, tracks and traces exchanged business files of any size for security, governance and compliance purposes, will extend TEB's managed security capabilities.
- The option to deliver these solutions as well as associated BIS-based enterprise application integration services in the cloud will enable TEB to offer B2B, MFT and application-to-application integration under the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model for rapid, low-cost deployment.
"SEEBURGER's extensive suite of business integration tools can deliver efficiencies as well as data protections that are critical in today's complex business environment, and they are backed by more than 25 years of successful deployment in some of the largest companies in the world," said Steven Lim, CEO, TIME Engineering Berhad. "This partnership marks a valuable expansion of our service offering that will benefit both our subsidiaries and clients by automating core business processes safely, securely and reliably."
The agreement reflects a recently expanded SEEBURGER global partner recruitment initiative designed to support growing market demand for solutions that meet today's complex business integration and secure file transfer challenges. System integrators, ISVs, OEMs, VARs and other IT providers who join the SEE Partner Program can leverage SEEBURGER solutions to help organizations maximize their ERP investments, consolidate B2B technologies, streamline supply chain communications, and ensure data security and regulatory compliance in file transfer processes.
"The IMF June forecast for ASEAN countries Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam projects 5.4% growth this year and 5.7% next year, with Malaysia's GDP growth expected to be 5.5%. Malaysia plays a pivotal role in the southeast Asian economy, and we have been aggressively searching for local partners with the right mix of offerings to pair with our technologies," said James Hatcher, Managing Director, SEEBURGER Asia Pacific Ltd. "TEB's emphasis on e-commerce and trade facilitation, strong customer base particularly in the government sector, and integration expertise make them an ideal candidate for representing SEEBURGER in the region."
All SEEBURGER solutions are available in a choice of cloud, managed or on-premise delivery models, scalable for any size company, and compatible with all ERP systems and EDI/B2B standards.
