NEC collaboration brings KMD WorkZone to the United Kingdom

The first major public client is already secured, and soon, several other UK organizations may benefit from KMD WorkZone.

This opportunity arises from a new collaboration between KMD and NEC Software Solutions UK, both owned by the Japanese company NEC.

“In KMD, we have some excellent software solutions that under the right circumstances can be relevant and applicable for other countries. We have for some time been thinking and acting in line with that KMD WorkZone was one of our solutions with “travel” potential. However, it requires a lot of effort to get there, including understanding of your partners business and customer situation, so looking at all of this I am truly happy and proud that we together with NEC Software Solutions UK made this happen relatively quickly. So simply this is a brilliant example of what we can do in KMD and the NEC Group, when everything connects and supply and demands matching” says Per Johansson, CEO in KMD.

The good collaboration and mutual understanding have been key to the success of the project, explains Marco Fiorentino, Executive Director, and Head of NEC Digital within NEC Software Solutions UK.

"We are experiencing a demand for the functionalities of KMD WorkZone in the United Kingdom and are pleased that both we and KMD quickly realized this potential, and we are grateful for the great collaboration that we have had, and now we are just looking forward to getting this out to more UK customers," says Marco Fiorentino.

What NEC Software Solutions UK and KMD have found is that the features in KMD WorkZone's backend can be integrated into NEC Software Solutions UK's own user interface in their case management system.

"We have forced ourselves to look at KMD WorkZone in a slightly different way than has historically been done. This gives us a lot of opportunities in any sector in the UK, as NEC Software Solutions and we anticipate that there are potentially many customers who can use this," says Per Johansson.

It is the second time in a brief period, KMD is introducing one of its products to an international audience. Earlier this year, KMD Connect was launched in Japan.
