"Annata is a perfect addition to our rapidly expanding business. Our extended relationship with Annata will immediately offer real value to the automotive and heavy equipment manufacturers in APAC."

    "Tectura has been an Annata certified partner since 2010, initially as a regional certified reseller in North America," said Johann Jonsson, Annata CEO. "With Tectura expanding their relationship with Annata into APAC, we see new opportunities in supporting our fastest growing markets, and to support larger regional and global projects.

    "Annata IDMS is used by local, regional and global businesses on five continents with approximately 35,000 users sold to clients ranging in size from 20 to 5,000 users. It is available in 15 languages, with five more being introduced this year.
