Opportunities
Abroad: The Japanese Marketplace
Japan joins the list of countries that
Detto is working with to resell its consumer
migration products. Global Resellers and
distributors are now realizing the global

into the Japanese marketplace was a logical

solutions in the Japanese marketplace
are simple cable and file transfer solutions.
Media Vision, Inc. came to Detto Technologies
with the request to provide the Japanese
marketplace with an efficient, easy to
use solution that allows PC users to easily
upgrade and transfer data, preferences
and settings to a Mac or PC.
