Tacton Systems announced that T-Systems Multimedia Solutions, a subsidiary of T-Systems and Germany's leading provider of internet based-solutions, has signed an agreement for Tacton Configurator – whereby an E-Configurator in T-Systems E-Commerce Solutions is powered by the Tacton Configurator. Tacton Configurator enhances the E Commerce Solution so that companies can sell over the web, anything from simple products to the most complex or modular products.

T-Systems Multimedia Solutions has over 980 employees at eight locations across Germany. They specialize in tailor-made E Configurator solutions in the E Commerce business. The E-Configurator, powered by Tacton Configurator, enables manufacturers of configured products, such as Build-to-Order and Assemble-to-order, to consistently manage product diversity, from bidding and sales to manufacturing planning. This will increase their agility and responsiveness to market specificity, while reducing cost and lead-times in the overall process.
“We are very happy to cooperate with Tacton; a technology provider with a strong expertise in the manufacturing industry. The Tacton Configurator enhances our E Commerce Solution, and gives us the competitive edge with a customer needs-based approach to configuration. Tacton is providing one of the most powerful and flexible embeddable configuration technologies,” says Robert Bonča, Business Consultant at T Systems Multimedia Solutions.
"We are pleased to have a system integrator like T-Systems to sell an E-Configurator powered by Tacton Configurator.
