The new CIBER Innovation and Technology Center in Mishawaka is a showcase for complete solutions consisting of the latest IBM hardware, software and services to address their clients' business initiatives. This facility provides key support to CIBER's Independent Software Vendor (ISV) service offerings as well as Custom Solutions by providing infrastructure, meeting facilities, and project support capabilities.
Based on IBM's "Business Partner Innovation Center" concept, this location has the latest IBM Power6 Servers, Storage Solutions, and BladeCenter Technology, as well as IBM Software, to help clients leverage the power of technology with customized demonstrations, executive briefings, product training, and proof-of-concept engagements.
A wide range of clients, business partners and IBM executives are expected to attend the debut of CIBER's newest information technology facility on Monday, August 18, 2008.
This grand opening also represents a significant investment by Denver-based CIBER as part of IBM's select Business Partner Innovation Center initiative.
With acceptance into the BPIC initiative, CIBER joins exclusive IBM business partner status as less than one-tenth of one percent of IBM's business partners worldwide qualify to own and operate a BPIC. Acceptance into this program also means CIBER can leverage IBM's investments with investments of their own because they have demonstrated the required degree of specialization to develop unique industry solutions to help clients become more innovative, flexible and responsive to market demands.
"CIBER is proud of its technology leadership recognition," said Eric Borcherding, Vice President of CIBER's Technology Solutions Practice. "The CIBER Innovation and Technology Center will allow CIBER and our customers to work together on the latest server, storage and software product offerings. We feel this investment by CIBER will help ensure we always deliver the very best in technology solutions."
