Press Release Summary: IBM Mainframe Support and Software Provider to Market Product to Fortune and Global 2000 Clients
Press Release Body: Richardson, TX August 13, 2008-IN-COM Data Systems (IN-COM) announced today that it has reached agreement with Software Diversified Services (SDS), one of the largest providers of technical support and related software products for IBM mainframes systems, to market SMART TS to its extensive client base worldwide.
SDS' co-owner, Jim Lampi, who handles sales and marketing for the company, stated that the SMART TS product line is an important addition to its software offerings. "We were greatly impressed with its speed and search capabilities, and particularly with its cost effectiveness and rapid ROI," he said. "SMART TS has a proven capability for reducing MIPS, which is a significant consideration for efficient mainframe operations. We feel that it will have great applicability to our users and will be widely accepted by our client base."
Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Brooklyn Center, MN, SDS now provides a wide range of performance monitoring, report distribution, data compression, and client-server applications to more than 1000 customers in the US and 37 countries around the globe. With 20 server-proven products designed to support the IBM VSE and MVS mainframe systems, SDS has been selected as and continues to participate as an IBM Business Partner and Advanced member of IBM PartnerWorldTM due to its capability to provide the highest quality software, documentation, and technical support in the industry, which has been assigned a #1 rating by IBEX.
Developed by IN-COM Data Systems, SMART TS is a platform independent product that focuses on key data, content, and source code integration processes in mainframe environments. Its leading-edge software intelligence tool gives corporate and IT staffs a methodology for managing source code, data, and content -- creating a system to enable instant search, review, analysis, and impact of large volumes of computer code, independent of hardware or software platform, while "virtualizing" a comprehensive view of the entire enterprise's applications, structure, and relationships. Currently it is in use at a growing number of Fortune and Global 2000 companies including Citi, Nissan, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), Southwest Airlines, JP Morgan, Radio Shack, and Thompson-Reuters.
Malcolm Roy, IN-COM's vice president of sales, welcomed SDS to the Company's rapidly expanding list of distributors. "The addition of SDS is a major step forward in our marketing capabilities," Roy stated, "not only because of the company's close working relationship with IBM, but also because of its worldwide mainframe user base, for which SMART TS was specifically designed. We feel that this creates a 'win-win' situation for SDS and IN-COM, with significant benefit to both companies."
