Building Partnerships around the World March 2008

JAZA at the Ayala Systems 20th Anniversary.
In March 2008, FALCO, a Swedish IT company based in Stockholm, has signed a contract with Ayala Systems for offshore and onshore development projects. This agreement was signed by FALCO CEO, Jens Johannson, during his Manila visit. Some of the projects in the pipeline include software testing, website development, and manpower resources.
7Principles, a German-based IT company based in Frankfurt, also sealed a partnership with the company. Ayala Systems President, Erwin Locsin and Technology Services Director, Jun Lasco, recently concluded a trip in Europe for a series of business meetings with both FALCO and 7Principles together with some existing and potential customers. This opens the gates to the European market for Ayala Systems.
Currently, there would likewise be on-going discussions on tie-ups with several North America based IT companies such as: Creative Contact, Inc., Vaelos LP, and Practical Business Solutions.
In Asia-Pacific, alliances have been forged with Red-Hat, MySQL and Trusted Hub.
Ayala Systems, together with ASJ, Inc., has further strengthened its presence in the Japanese market as it ties-up with JFE Systems, Japan for development projects.
Further partnerships are established with Asian Development Bank, Bank of the Philippine Islands, and Globe Telecom, Inc. here in the local scene. These various strategic alliances have indeed opened vast opportunities for Ayala Systems to offer and provide its suite of technology services to the market, through other organizations.
In this way, both companies gain business advantages over competition by sharing and expanding technology, resources, and even market opportunities. These truly make Ayala Systems a world-class Filipino IT Services provider.
