Softshare Gains Entry Into Champagne Industry with New Reseller Partnership in France

Santa Barbara/Amsterdam/Reims—March 18, 2010—Softshare announced today a new reseller partnership with EBC, a leading ERP software and IT service provider to France's champagne industry. The partnership allows EBC to offer Softshare's EDI and XML solutions as part of its portfolio, and provides Softshare with greater visibility in the French market.

The relationship between Softshare and EBC began a year ago, when one of EBC's champagne-producing customers required EDI communications with Monoprix, a French supermarket chain. EBC referred the company to Softshare and found itself quite pleased with Softshare's scalable suite of EDI software and excellent customer service. For its part, Softshare appreciated EBC's excellent reputation in France and its insight into the French market.

Softshare CEO, Frank Gott, and EBC President, Jacques Maingre.

"Over the last year, I have worked very closely with EBC and have been impressed by the company's professionalism, knowledge of the champagne industry, and knowledge of the French software market as a whole," said Fabrice Ortiz, New Business Developer at Softshare. "I have no doubt that EBC will make an excellent partner in Softshare's endeavor to expand its presence in France."
