Patrick Kinsella, Director of International Channels, Macalla Software explains, The Macalla Mobile e-Commerce Platform and associated suite of applications have built up a significant pedigree and reputation within the financial services and mobile operator communities. Combining this reputation with such a well-known and highly regarded technology services organisation such as Quinary in Italy, will deepen Macallas market penetration in Europe.

Ettore Decio, Strategy Director, Quinary went on to say, Quinary has a requirement for superior proven mobile e-Commerce solutions based upon a strong revenue generating model. We are already in discussions with a number of parties interested in engaging jointly with Quinary and Macalla Software and we expect to make these announcements in due course.
