Info. Technology - Chile - Defontana signs alliance with CTRSat to offer ERP through satellite transmission

Chilean software developer Defontana has signed an agreement with compatriot satellite transmission services provider CTRSat to offer its web-based ERP through CTRSat services, Defontana said in a statement.


Prior to the agreement, Defontana offered its products and services through its offices in Santiago, Antofagasta, Concepción and Puerto Montt, but can now reach other remote locations covered by CTRSat services.

"We aim to have some 10% of our client base [of nearly 1,200 companies] under this service, and we are particularly targeting the mining, salmon and agribusiness industries," Defontana commercial director Marcelo Vásquez told BNamericas.

CTRSat, a unit of Chilean telecoms operator CTR, offers telephony, internet and satellite transmission services to remote locations in Chile to industries such as forestry, mining, construction, salmon, tourism, agribusiness, finances and government.

According to Vásquez, Defontana selected CTRSat because of its partnership with sister-company NetGlobalis, where Defontana hosts its servers and solutions.

"In addition, we have several clients in remote areas where the internet connections are not good, unreliable or just inexistent. So we saw this alliance as a way to boost their connectivity service and our software service," Vásquez added.
