Companies to offer software development and engineering services to clients, with emphasis on application modernization projects.
AUSTIN, Texas and HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam – August 29, 2017 – CM First Group and Axon Active today announce an expanded partnership to collaborate on software development and software engineering services. Partnering with Axon Active also enables CM First to extend its engineering capability in Asia and provide expanded services to its customers in the region – a focus for the company.
Initially, the companies will concentrate on helping mutual customers to maintain and modernize legacy mainframe applications, offering automated analysis and business rule discovery to accelerate and de-risk projects, using the CM evolveIT product.
“CM First has worked with Axon in Switzerland for a number of years on projects involving their digital process automation technology, AXON IVY,” said John Rhodes, chief executive officer, CM First Group. “Extending the partnership with Axon Active Vietnam to augment CM First’s software engineering makes great sense. Axon runs well managed agile processes with high standards, and there is a great fit with our team and software development culture.”
By leveraging CM First’s business rules harvesting technology in CM evolveIT, customers with legacy mainframe and midrange applications can take full advantage of digital process automation technology, like AXON IVY, and reduce business rules re-engineering cost by up to 80%.
“We are excited to work with CM First Group and expand the Axon Active presence in the Americas,” said Markus Baur, chief executive officer, Axon Active Vietnam. “CM First’s technology and skills are a good fit with ours, and together the two companies can provide best-in-class digital process automation solutions to customers in the region.”
