Ovitas Launches International Network
The new strategic alliance among Ovitas, Inc., Ovitas Hungary and Ovitas Norway will provide expanded XML, knowledge management, and content management services to customers worldwide.
Woburn, Mass., USA; Budapest, Hungary; Oslo, Norway (PRWEB) August 4, 2005 --
Ovitas, Inc. (North America), Ovitas AS (Scandinavia), and Ovitas Hungary,
innovative providers of knowledge and content management solutions, have formed
a strategic alliance to provide expanded services to their customers worldwide.
Ovitas companies have developed such applications as an Interactive Electronic
Technical Manual (IETM) for the US Marine Corps, an automated news
classification system for the Hungarian News Agency, and a maintenance
information portal for SAS Airlines. Ovitas companies are premier providers of
software from empolis GmbH (a subsidiary of arvato, a Bertelsmann Company) in
their respective territories.
The Ovitas International Network will allow
each organization to provide additional services and solutions to their
customers regardless of location. For example, Ovitas Hungary has over 10 years
of experience in conversion of document data from legacy formats to SGML and XML
based on work with leading reference publishers. These high quality services can
be provided to Ovitas’ North American or Scandinavian customers efficiently and
cost-effectively through the Ovitas International Network.
“We are
pleased to expand the Ovitas brand and our ability to provide additional
services on time and on budget using international resources and expertise,”
explained Jeff Bettencourt, President of Ovitas, Inc. “Our strategic alliance
will promote sharing of best design and implementation practices to benefit our
customers.”
Ovitas AS and Ovitas Hungary recently adopted the Ovitas name
after becoming independent from former parent company empolis. “Ovitas stands
for customer- and industry-specific solutions delivered on a solid commercial
software foundation,” said Laszlo Domokos, founder of Ovitas Hungary. “It was a
natural fit for us to adopt the Ovitas brand and to strengthen our portfolio
through this alliance.”
