Asteria and Softage Sign Sales Partnership Agreement to Provide Data Integration Infrastructure Centered on the 'Bugyo Cloud Series'
Asteria and Softage have entered into a sales partnership agreement to enhance data integration with the Bugyo Cloud series.
Asteria Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoichiro Hirano; Securities Code: 3853; hereinafter "Asteria") and Softage Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sendai, Miyagi; President: Makoto Yoshida; hereinafter "Softage") announced that they have signed an 'ASTERIA Warp Subscription Partner (ASP)' agreement. As a partner, Softage will sell the 'ASTERIA Warp' series, which has held the No. 1 market share in the domestic EAI/ESB software market for 19 consecutive years. Through this collaboration, the two companies will contribute to corporate data utilization and digital transformation (DX) by providing a data integration infrastructure centered on the 'Bugyo Cloud series'.
Background of the Partnership
As companies accelerate their shift to the cloud, the need for data integration between core business systems and various cloud services is increasing. The 'Bugyo Cloud series,' an integrated business platform provided by Obic Business Consultants Co., Ltd. (OBC), has seen its market presence grow, with over 820,000 cumulative implementations driven by a rising interest in operational efficiency.
Softage, as an 'OAP Platinum' partner—the highest rank in the 'OBC Alliance Partnership' program—has supported over 300 companies with the implementation and customization of the Bugyo Cloud series. Meanwhile, Asteria's 'Warp' is recognized for its extensive track record and high scalability, allowing for no-code integration with diverse systems. It has been certified as a 'Bugyo V ERP Cloud' integration tool partner, offering high compatibility and reliability with the Bugyo Cloud series.
In response to the growing demand for flexible integration with peripheral systems and the development of data utilization infrastructure, Asteria and Softage decided to collaborate. By combining their strengths, they aim to enhance the provision of data utilization infrastructure for companies using the Bugyo Cloud series.
Through the provision of a data integration infrastructure using Warp centered on the Bugyo Cloud series, Softage will support improvements in operational efficiency and advanced data utilization, including:
- Data integration between 'Bugyo Cloud' and various cloud services
- Productivity improvement and reduction of operational burden through business process automation
- Rapid construction of integration infrastructure using no-code technology
- Provision of a flexible integration environment capable of adapting to system expansions as business environments change
Future Outlook
Moving forward, both companies will promote data integration solutions that combine the Bugyo Cloud series with Warp. They will also strengthen their collaboration through joint seminars and implementation support for Bugyo Cloud users, contributing to business growth by supporting corporate DX and the development of data utilization infrastructure.
Endorsement
OBC welcomes this collaboration between Softage and Asteria.
By advancing the provision of a data integration infrastructure through this partnership, we expect that flexible integration between the Bugyo Cloud series and peripheral systems, as well as the sophistication of data utilization, will be further promoted. We have high expectations that the value provided by combining the strengths of both companies will further accelerate corporate operational efficiency and DX promotion.
