A leading IBM Business Partner and solution provider in the NYC Metro area, became an IBM Premier Business Partner and an IBM Agent for the State of New York.
Premier level membership is for Business Partners who make a significant investment in IBM products and technologies through a combination of:
Certifications — Solutions — Revenue achievement — High customer satisfaction — Joint marketing plans
Premier Business Partners actively participate with IBM in joint planning and development of a mutually strong relationship to achieve success. IBM, in turn, provides the highest level of marketing, sales and technical support.
This accomplishment shows that MCS is committed to the IBM Partnership and shows continued growth and success as a company.
To add to this accomplishment, MCS also became an IBM Agent for the State of New York. The State of New York and IBM have contracts for the acquisition of IBM IT Systems, Software, Peripherals, Accessories and related Services. These are multi-year contracts requiring the agreement of both the State of New York and IBM.
In order to become an Agent, the IBM Business Partner must fulfill a selected criteria outlined by IBM. MCS fulfilled this and this achievement allows them to sell IBM hardware to all state and local governments and educational institutions.
The hardware includes the IBM Power Systems, xSeries, and Storage. This will broaden their market penetration and sell to a niche that they previously could not.
