TLI-AP - ILOG signing ceremony

By signing a memorandum of understanding, ILOG and TLI-AP established the terms of a working relationship and strategic partnership. The agreement calls for ILOG to share its expertise in optimization, visualization and component-based development. In return, TLI-AP will use ILOG technologies in projects at the institute, promoting ILOG and its products in the process. The agreement also enables TLI-AP to use ILOG's software development tools for research and educational purposes. ILOG will conduct training programs for TLI-AP academics to keep them abreast of ILOG's latest technologies.

"This collaboration, our first with an IT company, will be most beneficial to logistics professionals in Singapore, who can draw on this experience to further develop the logistics industry in the region," says Prof. John J. Jarvis, executive director of TLI-AP. "As a technology leader with a wealth of experience in the logistics industry and many world-class customers in this area, ILOG was the natural choice to help us enhance our logistics expertise."

The agreement reaffirms both parties' commitment to increasing Singapore's competitiveness as a premier transportation and logistics hub through technological training of logistics personnel. Managing logistics in Asia-Pacific is highly complex and challenging due to the number of countries and cultures, making it important to develop qualified IT personnel and customized logistics solutions that cater to the region's unique conditions. TLI-AP's extensive network and ILOG's IT know-how make a formidable combination for providing the industry with optimization solutions.
