HONG KONG, July 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced it has signed a strategic partnership with Karin Electronic Supplies Co. Ltd (Karin) to meet Hong Kong's demand for secure, optimized solutions that help accelerate development around complex technology challenges like Big Data, enterprise-grade mobile apps and business-critical cross-platform solutions.
As a value-added distributor, Karin will market CA Technologies Infrastructure Management and Application Performance Management solutions to help customers deliver better performance of both cloud and on-premise IT environments and ensure an exceptional end-user experience for critical applications. Karin will also market CA Security solutions to enable and secure the open enterprise by authenticating and securing access for the right users on any device, anywhere -- while providing a superior customer experience. Moreover, CA service virtualization and release automation solutions are also to be marketed by Karin to the Hong Kong customers to deliver next-generation applications faster with higher quality and reduced costs.
"Karin has built a formidable reputation in the local IT community with a solid community of resellers aligned around its integrated channel model," said Michael Choe, Vice President and Managing Director, Asia North, CA Technologies. "Our partnership with Karin enables us to strategically expand our reach and spectrum of enterprise resellers and their customers in Hong Kong and Macau."
Hong Kong leads the region in some of the most complex deployments of IT solutions, including mobile apps and cloud-based enterprise-grade apps. Coupled with shorter time-to-market and budgets that are not keeping pace with growth, these efforts place extended demands on IT to work with local partners that have the capability to support enterprises' efforts to deliver quality solutions on time and on budget.
Framed around its Asia Pacific and Japan Partner Program, this partnership follows CA Technologies meticulous process of appointing partners that have a proven track record in systems integration and service offerings, as well as strong technical savvy and depth of industry experience in serving and supporting customers around the region.
In the 37 years since its founding, Karin has built a track record of keeping pace with technology advancements through strategic long-term partnerships that enhance its customers' competitive edge.
"We recognize the importance of investing in technology partnerships that deliver quantifiable results for our network of value-added resellers which, in turn, result in immense benefits to Hong Kong as a leader in developing and nurturing some of the most advanced IT solutions in the world," said Mr. Philip Ng, Executive Chairman & Executive Director, Karin Technology Holdings Ltd. "Our partnership with CA Technologies enables us to further extend Hong Kong's lead in enterprise software. We are confident that CA's innovative solutions and our extensive distribution network in Hong Kong will make this partnership a win-win partnership for both parties."
