Tom Van Soest, International Sales Manager for Geac's RunTime business, said: "Esprit and Geac have enjoyed a long standing relationship that has evolved into a true partnership. The QuestPLM solution supports a great deal of Esprit's operations and their move to open licensing is indicative of their large commitment to the system. This will mean that Esprit's designers all over the world will be able to benefit from using our collaborative design system." Dr. Dirk Seifert concluded: "This upgrade and expansion of our systems stands us in very good stead for future development. Like any retailer we know we cannot stand still and optimising our supply chain, product management and distribution strategy are key to our growth."
