APPTIX ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH IBM
Herndon, Virginia and Billingstad, Norway - August 05, 2005
Today, Apptix announced that it has signed a series of
agreements with IBM to create a scalable solution for
delivering applications over the net. Under the terms of
the agreements, Apptix and IBM will develop the solution
based on Apptix`s TECOS® platform and IBM`s server and
storage technology. The solution will allow Apptix to both
provision and support customers utilizing the same robust
environment.
The first service to be delivered will be Microsoft
Exchange 2003 together with complementary anti-virus, anti-
spam, and BlackBerry wireless services.
Apptix will manage the applications and the TECOS platform
while IBM will manage the hardware, network, and data
center components. As a result of this agreement, Apptix
will significantly decrease the capital costs associated
with growing its business.
Scott Powell, Director of IBM SMB Managed Services,
said: `Since Apptix is a Microsoft Exchange Gold Certified
Partner, it was a logical decision to team with Apptix to
provide Managed Microsoft Exchange and Blackberry services.
IBM is encouraged that the teaming will give IBM presence
in accounts not traditionally targeted by IBM.`
`We are pleased that IBM has chosen to team with Apptix,`
said Amir Hudda, CEO of Apptix. `These agreements
demonstrate the strength of Apptix`s technology and
services and validate the position of Apptix as a leading
enabler of On-demand services. We are pleased to have the
support of IBM, a preeminent innovator in the market.`
