AGREEMENT SIGNED TO PROMOTE `SmartBox'
GEONG International Limited ("GEONG" or "the Company"), the AIM listed, Beijing based, provider of content management software and solutions, announces that it has signed an alliance agreement with the Shanghai Enterprise Information Promotion Centre for SME's ("Shanghai EIPC") to promote SmartBox to Shanghai based businesses.
Shanghai EIPC is a joint venture between the Shanghai government and a number of leading Shanghai Universities. Its aim is to improve the way SME's manage their information systems. According to the Shanghai government, in 2005 there were 337,353 SME businesses in the region. Shanghai EIPC and GEONG intend to target these companies by holding joint seminars to demonstrate the benefits of SmartBox. Following the demonstrations, the SME's will be entitled to a 30 day free trial as well as a promotional price on the software.
Wang Weidong, Chief Executive of GEONG, commented: " Signing up Shanghai EIPC as a strategic partner will further drive sales of SmartBox and give us valuable access to a huge number of potential customers through a reputable channel and an institution which is known throughout China."
"Our experience and knowledge of Enterprise Content Management, through work we have done with major organisations, has allowed us to develop a quality product that will add significant value to smaller businesses. The management are confident that this agreement will bring significant value to GEONG in the medium term," he added.
