World Technology Services and AMX International create "Team ASP"

World Technology Services (WTS) announced it has formed a strategic alliance with AMX International to provide a comprehensive J.D. Edwards Application Service Provider (ASP) solution. This alliance offers customers the unique advantages of single-contact accountability, "best fit" flexible application hosting and e-business solutions, integration of J.D. Edwards software with other applications, custom development and predictable costs. Customers also benefit from expanded rapid implementation tool sets that enable reduced time to benefit and more cost-effective solutions.

Making the announcement jointly were Tom Hughes, WTS President and Jay Price, AMX President.

"The alliance between these two companies," said Hughes, "allows businesses to receive an enhanced end-to-end enterprise solution, from strategic consulting services, through integration and post-implementation support." Price added, "The partnership allows customers to take advantage of our 110 J.D. Edwards-certified consultants and OneWorld™ development center, and WTS’s in-house data center that supports OneWorld™, Coexistence, WorldSoftware™ and related applications."

An ASP manages and delivers applications to enterprises from data centers across the Internet. Companies can focus on core business initiatives, while addressing IT financial and risk issues through an ASP model, as they minimize total cost of ownership.

WTS is the leading ASP of J.D. Edwards software, with nineteen live referenceable clients in engineering, construction, manufacturing and distribution. WTS is headquartered in Seattle.

AMX International is a premier provider of enterprise and e-business technology solutions with more than 400 clients in the electronics, industrial, public sector, services, consumer and packaged goods industries.

J.D. Edwards provides Idea to Action™ software for managing enterprise and supply chain. The Company’s integrated applications give customers control over their front office, manufacturing, logistics/distribution, human resources and finance processes for the consumer products, industrial and service industries.
