Aftek subsidiary signs pact with German software services major

Mumbai, Sept 21 (UNI) Arexera Information Technologies GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mumbai-based software major Aftek Infosys Ltd has entered into a strategic tie up with Munich, Germany-based software major Electroniksystem-und Logistik GmbH (ESG) for a period of five years.

The tie up will see Arexera and ESG collaborating in offering innovative and individual solutions to the automotive sector, primarily in the area of Automotive Telematics and Embedded Technologies, said an offical press release here.

Arexera will be drawing on Aftek's expertise from its development centres in Pune to execute orders from ESG.

''There are a lot of synergies between ESG and Arexera-Aftek combine and I believe a collobration between the two entities will generate considerable advantages for customers and partners alike,'' Mr Simon Khosla, Chief Operating Officer, Arexera.

Automotive Telematics is a next generation technology and impacts all aspects of the automotive user experience from human-machine interface, navigation, mapping, traffic information, safety and security aids, mobile internet to remote vehicle diagnostics and control.

Aftek Group is one of the few Indian companies to specialize in Automotive Telematics Embedded Technologies related with the Automobile vertical. Aftek is already providing its services in this field to one of the world's biggest and most prestigious automobile manufacturers - BMW.
