ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia (August 8, 2013) – RungePincockMinarco (RPM) has today signed a strategic partnership agreement with Information Technology Experts LLC (IT Experts), a Mongolian-based mining software consultancy firm. Under the agreement, IT Experts will further expand RPM’s reach into Mongolia by selling and supporting RPM’s leading suite of mining software through their broad distribution channels.
RPM’s Regional General Manager – Australasia, Russia & CIS, Philippe Baudry, said, “This is an important relationship for us as we look to broaden our software distribution channels and market share in Mongolia. IT Experts are a highly respected supplier to the Mongolian mining industry and nicely complement our existing operations in Mongolia which have been in place since 2010.”
Commenting on this strategic partnership, RPM CEO Richard Mathews said: “This calendar year, we have launched a raft of new software products to the mining industry whilst also strengthening our core existing product base with extensive releases. Following on from these product releases we are now working to expand our distribution channels particularly in the emerging markets, where we have continued to invest. This agreement with IT Experts will broaden our network, increase the accessibility of our products and expand our presence in Mongolia.”
Munkhbadral Algaa, CEO of IT Experts commented on the partnership, saying, “It makes sense for us both to align our offerings and partner to service the Mongolian mining sector. The combination of our understanding of local customer needs and RPM’s industry proven products means we can jointly provide solutions that meet the Mongolian mining industry’s unique challenges. IT Experts already sell and support the Maptek Vulcan mine design product range. With the recent release of RPM’s XPAC 7.13, which features integration between the Vulcan products and RPM’s scheduling products, IT Experts can now offer and support the two industry leading software packages that work together to deliver the best Mine Planning solution into the Mongolian mining market”
RPM’s partnership agreement with IT Experts follows RPM’s recent partnership agreement with NVision Group in Russia and the CIS, as well as the formation of an Indian-based joint venture with Deepak Mining Services.
