Yehud, Israel (PRWEB) June 09, 2016 -- TaKaDu, a global leader in Integrated Event Management solutions for the water industry, announced today that the national water company of Taiwan, Taiwan Water Corporation (TWC), has chosen TaKaDu’s Event Management solution to help them improve their water network management and save water resources.

TaKaDu’s event management solution enables us to manage every type of event happening in our network so that we can respond quickly to problem areas and bring them under control efficiently and optimize our operational resources”.

The deal with TWC is an important milestone for us, representing our first customer in the Asia, and we are confident that it will make a real difference to TWC’s operational efficiency and lead to a long-term win-win relationship,” said Amir Peleg, Founder & CEO, TaKaDu.
