NOVACES Enters Agreement to Become Exclusive North American Reseller of BeingManagement Software
Being Co., Ltd. expands its global sales initiative of BeingManagement3 (BM3), a best-selling project management software in Japan, by forming this alliance with NOVACES for the North America territory.
NOVACES, a Louisiana-based management consulting firm, has entered into an agreement with Being Co., Ltd., to become the exclusive North American reseller of BeingManagement3 (BM3), an enterprise project portfolio management software designed to leverage the Critical Chain methodology.
NOVACES currently uses BeingManagement3 as a platform for its project management consulting business and has already implemented it with clients in the healthcare and manufacturing industries. This new relationship further strengthens the firm’s position to introduce the project portfolio management software to clients who require the business benefits of better schedule performance, increased capacity, and a more reliable system for planning and prioritization.
Being Co., headquartered in Tsu City, Japan, is a publicly traded software development company (JASDAQ: 4734). Being Co. has developed several highly successful software programs since its establishment in 1984, including its flagship civil construction estimating software called Gaia. Global sales of BM3 project management software has been steadily increasing since its launch in 2006 and is now being offered through a reseller network in Europe, India and North America.
BeingManagement3 project portfolio management software now holds the largest market share in Japan behind Microsoft Project according to the 2010 Fuji Chimera Research Institute study. In addition to a strong financial backing by its developer, Being Co. also has published implementation case histories with clients such as Omron, Mazda, and Ricoh. With more successful implementations in industries such as automotive manufacturing, software development, construction management, shipbuilding, engineer-to-order, and fleet maintenance, BeingManagement3 is well-positioned to serve the North American market.
As part of the alliance with Being Co., NOVACES will be responsible for performing marketing and sales activities in the North American territory, including development of a channel partner program and a global brand presence on the web and major social media outlets.
