Helping Our Partners Drive NEW IBM Software Revenue

Our Software Influencer Program (SIP) began as a way to help IBM Business Partners (Influencers), give their customers the software licensing support they need.

In October 2009 we acquired Pacific Design Engineering (PDE). PDE is a technical services organization with a strong focus on IBM Software technology as well as network integration, virtualization, and disaster recovery. The addition of PDE gives us 35 new systems engineers to deliver the IBM Software solutions we sell to customers throughout the United States.
