Synaptris expands into the Australian market, announces partnership with Cri-Tech Consulting

Chennai, 21 June 2007: Synaptris, the software product company which offers flexible reporting solutions has announced its expansion into the Australian market as part of its APAC channel expansion plans. As the first step in its foray into Australia, the company has established a partnership with New South Wales-based Cri-Tech Consulting.

The partnership will initially focus on Synaptris’ IntelliPRINT range of products which are designed specifically for the IBM Lotus Notes & Domino platform. Australia is one of the largest markets in Asia Pacific for Notes & Domino applications and this makes it a very attractive market in this region for Synaptris.

With over 8 years of experience in delivering solutions on Lotus Notes & Domino technologies to customers in Australia, Cri-Tech is ideally positioned to partner with Synaptris in addressing this market.

The IntelliPRINT range of products are a “must have” for any enterprise using Lotus Notes and Domino applications. IntelliPRINT is a native plug-in component that provides Advanced Reporting and Analysis for Notes & Domino, integrating reporting & analysis into the business context and workflow of Notes & Domino applications. It is the only reporting solution in the market that is fully integrated with the Lotus Notes & Domino platform.

This year, IntelliPRINT has won two of the most prestigious awards for products on the Lotus Notes & Domino platform, the IBM Lotus CTO Award 2007 and the Lotus Advisor Editor’s Choice Award 2007.

Cri-Tech specializes in providing Consulting & Application Development services on the Lotus Notes platform to large and mid-sized clients in Australia. Cri-Tech’s marquee customer base includes Cochlear, Alcatel, Goodman Fielder, Electrolux, Kellogg’s and Reuters Australia.

As part of the partnership, Cri-Tech will dedicate an exclusive team to provide sales, product evaluation, deployment and post-sales support to its customers for Synaptris’ products. The partnership will initially target companies in the manufacturing and utilities verticals, in addition to Government establishments.

Madan S. Kumar, CEO, Synaptris said, “Australia offers a large addressable market for our IntelliPRINT product offering. Through this partnership, we will jointly address the information needs of a large number of business users who depend on data in their Notes applications to make critical business decisions.”

Glenn Folkes, Director - Sales, Cri-Tech said, “Our customers have always found it a challenge to deliver information in Notes applications to business users in a timely and user friendly way without having to take the data out of the secure & collaborative Notes framework. IntelliPRINT has been designed specifically to address this need and offers exceptional reporting and analysis capabilities from Notes & Domino data, right inside Notes.”

Synaptris’ solutions enable users to derive greater business value from their data and make highly informed decisions in their dynamic business environments, within their familiar reporting paradigm. Synaptris has over 2,200 customers and 200,000 licensed users spread across 60 countries.
