With Reseller Alliance in Detroit
COLUMBIA, S.C., Jan. 10 Integrated Business Systems & Services, Inc. ("IBSS")
today announced Detroit-based Silenus Group has partnered with the company
through its Integrator Referral/Reseller Program. Recently, IBSS has
announced several significant partnership agreements with technology companies
concentrating on the automotive industry such as BRAIN North America, Thomas
Group, TRW, USM Systems, and Oakland University's Product Development and
Manufacturing Center.
Silenus Group provides technology and systems integration services related
to real time manufacturing data collection, relational and object databases,
client/server GUI application development, Internet communication technologies
and e-commerce/e-business systems. Under the terms of the agreement, Silenus
Group extends their offerings, with IBSS' Synapse-based technology that
provides order fulfillment, manufacturing execution, enterprise application
integration, and application service provider (ASP) enablement for integrating
a company's applications with its supply chain.
"Recently, IBSS has been very fortunate to attract companies with such a
significant presence in the automotive industry," said Harry Langley,
president and CEO of IBSS. "Silenus Group has an outstanding reputation in
the automotive market as well as other prime manufacturing industries. Ford,
GM, Nissan and Venture Industries are just a few examples of some of their
impressive automotive customers."
"We are thrilled to have found IBSS' Synapse technology," said Eric
Karsten, Managing Director at Silenus Group. "Up until now, automotive
manufacturers have had to call in small armies of software engineers to re-
write software programs to make their plant floor operations run more smoothly
and cost effectively. Now with IBSS' technology, we are able to offer clients
the ability to totally eliminate costly custom re-programming issues. IBSS'
Synapse can be configured and customized to any industry without extensive
technical modifications."
