Distribution Agreement Expected to Further Fuel RealFlex Sales in the Pacific North West
Kingwood, TX & Richmond B.C — February 28, 2006
RealFlex Technologies Ltd (RFx) is pleased to announce that we have entered into a Distribution agreement with Northbrook International Controls Inc (Northbrook) to distribute RealFlex software in the Pacific North West region.
As a distributor and reseller for RealFlex in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington State and Oregon, Northbrook sees RealFlex software as a product with high potential in these regions due to its near bullet proof SCADA architecture. The core QNX Neutrino embedded Operating System coupled with the FlexWin HMI System gives the user the “best of both worlds”
Northbrook’s management has expressed the importance of partnering with Systems Integration partners in the region. They will identify System Integration partners that demonstrate a strong history of successful project management and quality assurance. Stan O Keefe, CEO of Northbrook said “We believe Realflex running on QNX Neutrino will gain a significant portion of the SCADA software market in this region in the years to come. RealFlex’s huge potential combined with its security features gives it an edge over the competition in a market looking carefully for secure, stable, scalable and reliable solutions. This edge gives us a chance to break into the SCADA market dominated so far by Windows based SCADA software.
Sean Dunne, CEO of RealFlex said “We are delighted to sign an agreement with Northbrook and with Stan O Keeffe in particular. We believe this will better serve our current customer base in the region giving them localized service in addition to our engineering support from Houston and our on-line customer support. We also believe this agreement will enable RealFlex to increase sales in the Pacific North West as customers look to a more secure SCADA solution in the era of increased emphasis on security of the critical infrastructure.
