A Los Angeles-based software company, iolo technologies, LLC, has partnered, in a deal signed earlier this year, with a French publisher and software distributor, Micro Application, to distribute iolo's top ranked PC Tune-up utility to the French market, System Mechanic.

System Mechanic, with over 19 million users worldwide, is the world's top-selling PC Tune-up product. The company is now looking to heighten its visibility by launching an aggressive localization initiative that will allow for market penetration in non-English-speaking areas of the globe, because, to date, the product has been available exclusively in English.

CEO of iolo technologies, Noah Rowles, said: "This agreement introduces the iolo brand and our industry-leading System Mechanic technology to a promising new market". "We chose Micro Application because of its track record, its marketing expertise, and its solid reputation. We're confident that our partnership with Micro Application will create long-term benefits for both companies involved and of course for French-speaking customers as well."

For the retail price of 39.95 euros (€39.95), the French-language version of System Mechanic is available on the Micro Application website, and may be purchased as an electronic download or as a boxed item. A single license can be legally installed on up to three PCs.

System Mechanic is a dedicated PC Tune-up utility designed to keep a system in peak operating condition. Repairing and maintaining a PC automatically, the software combines over 40 powerful tools in a single integrated console.

As their owners install and uninstall software, add and delete files, and perform any of the normal activities that leave registry conflicts, fragmented drives, file remnants, and system errors that impair PC performance, all computers slow down with use.

While Microsoft Windows includes basic utilities that clean up junk files and organize hard drive space, System Mechanic goes far beyond Windows in scope, power, and thoroughness, resulting in sustained PC performance close to the level of a computer just out of the box.
