For example IBM's MQSeries Integrator is the premiere solution for application integration. A-List Award winner in the enterprise application and data integration product category. MQSI enables enterprises to support all aspects of e-business by providing the means to bring together and integrate all types of applications. In the increasingly complex world of integration and connectivity, responding to customer opportunities and market demands is a key factor in both winning and keeping the business. But in today's world, it's difficult for one vendor to provide everything for the kind of integration e-business demands.
Partnership is critical.
Our partnership with iWay provides us the opportunity to not only offer best of breed solutions, but to give the customer a diversity of choice in what they connect to and how they do it. There are few if any real one size fits all solutions, but together with iWay we can offer customers the choice of solution that is right for their business. IBM and Information Builders have a long-standing partnership stretching back more than 10 years. The launch of iWay provides us both with the opportunity to enhance and increase that blossoming relationship as we continue to partner in more and more areas and leverage each other's strengths. I was personally delighted when they announced support for MQSeries Integrator via our open framework plug-in technology which more and more partners are adopting as a way of adding complimentary value to an MQSI solution.
