iolo Brings System Mechanic® to French Market With Micro Application Alliance
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- In a deal signed earlier this year, iolo technologies, LLC (http://www.iolo.com), a Los Angeles-based software company, has partnered with Micro Application, a French publisher and software distributor, to distribute System Mechanic, iolo's top ranked PC Tune-up utility to the French market.
With over 19 million users worldwide, System Mechanic is the world's top-selling PC Tune-up product. To date, however, the product has been available exclusively in English, but the company is now looking to heighten its visibility by launching an aggressive localization initiative that will allow for market penetration in non-English-speaking areas of the globe.
"This agreement introduces the iolo brand and our industry-leading System Mechanic technology to a promising new market," said Noah Rowles, CEO of iolo technologies. "We chose Micro Application because of its track record, its marketing expertise, and its solid reputation. We're confident that our partnership with Micro Application will create long-term benefits for both companies involved and of course for French-speaking customers as well."
The French-language version of System Mechanic (http://www.microapp.com/logiciel_iolo_system_mechanic_1367.html) is available on the Micro Application website for the retail price of 39.95 euros (?39.95), and may be purchased as an electronic download or as a boxed item. A single license can be legally installed on up to three PCs.
ABOUT IOLO SYSTEM MECHANIC
System Mechanic is a dedicated PC Tune-up utility (http://www.iolo.com/sm/7/std) designed to keep a system in peak operating condition. The software combines over 40 powerful tools in a single integrated console, repairing and maintaining a PC automatically.
All computers slow down with use as their owners install and uninstall software, add and delete files, and perform any of the normal activities that leave file remnants, fragmented drives, registry conflicts, and system errors that impair PC performance.
While Microsoft Windows includes basic utilities that clean up junk files and organize hard drive space, System Mechanic goes far beyond Windows in power, scope, and thoroughness, resulting in sustained PC performance close to the level of a computer just out of the box.
