Combining Hardware and Software Expertise for Next-Generation Solutions
This first official in-person meeting with Centerm’s executive leadership - including the Group Vice President and Global Sales Director - provided an opportunity for both organizations to align their visions and identify strong synergies.
At the core of the discussions was a shared objective: to combine Centerm’s recognised expertise in hardware manufacturing with TSplus’s advanced software solutions to deliver fully integrated systems for the Chinese market.
A key focus area is the development of thin client solutions - lightweight devices that connect to centralised Application Servers, enabling enhanced security, simplified IT management, and reduced infrastructure costs. By integrating TSplus software directly into Centerm devices (both Linux- and Windows-based), the two companies aim to offer a seamless and high-performance user experience In addition, TSplus plans to extend compatibility by deploying its Remote Support solution on Centerm devices, enabling IT teams to securely access and manage endpoints remotely—offering a powerful alternative to traditional tools such as TeamViewer.
A Timely Citrix Alternative in a Changing Market Landscape
The partnership comes at a particularly strategic moment. With the recent withdrawal of Citrix from the Chinese market, demand is growing for reliable, sovereign, and cost-effective alternatives.
Centerm has expressed strong interest in TSplus as a European software editor with full technological sovereignty - an increasingly important factor in today’s geopolitical environment. For Centerm, this collaboration represents an opportunity to offer its customers a high-quality alternative to legacy virtualization solutions. For TSplus, it opens new growth opportunities by leveraging Centerm’s distribution capabilities across China and the broader APAC region.
“Our discussions with Centerm have been extremely valuable and confirm our shared ambition to build a strong, long-term partnership. By combining our respective strengths, we are creating new opportunities to deliver greater value to customers not only in China, but worldwide,” said Dominique Benoit, Founder and C.E.O. of TSplus group.
From Strategic Vision to Concrete Actions
Following this meeting, both companies have confirmed their intention to establish a structured partnership in the Chinese market. TSplus will prioritise the technical integration of its solutions into Centerm devices, while both teams will collaborate on joint marketing and commercial initiatives.
Future actions will include coordinated communication campaigns across key regions such as Asia, Europe, and Latin America, as well as the implementation of dedicated partner programmes for Centerm’s distribution network.
The TSplus delegation received a particularly warm welcome during their visit, highlighted by an official dinner hosted in a private setting - underscoring the importance both organizations place on building a strong and lasting relationship.
