Informative Graphics Earns IBM Advanced Level Business Partner Status

Software Innovator Also Gains Traction with Customers, IBM's PartnerWorld Program.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz — Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in viewing, collaboration and redaction technology, today announced it has achieved Advanced level membership in the IBM PartnerWorld Program. The Advanced Business Partner certification is given to companies that demonstrate the necessary skills, sales expertise and successful deployment on IBM-based solutions. In obtaining this distinction, IGC affirms its status as an innovator of viewing and collaboration software, helping companies share electronic content across the extended enterprise.

“We are honored to achieve this status with IBM,” said Gary Heath, CEO of IGC. “This program gives us valuable tools and services to help expand our success in the marketplace and further strengthens our relationship with IBM. It is the result of our dedication to both IBM and our mutual clients.”

IGC products offer companies secure, multi-format viewing, annotation and redaction in a single, simple interface. Users can view virtually any format, including Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, TIFF, DWG and many more, as a convenient part of any workflow or process.

RotoMetrics, a world leader in precision rotary tooling and IBM customer, recently selected Brava!® by IGC to enhance existing business processes. “The technical challenges of organizing quote requests and managing the workflows for specifications, pricing, configuration and approvals can be overwhelming,” said Brent Goedert, RotoMetrics IT Project Manager for Collaborative Technologies. In response to these challenges, RotoMetrics built solutions based on IBM tools to create a useful and productive workflow environment.

Goedert further described, “We are deploying Brava as a universal viewer and annotation tool. Brava allows our sales and engineering staff to collaborate on early design and quotations for orders. The impact of implementing Brava will be huge in speeding this customer response cycle as well as reducing our carbon footprint.”

IGC also earned accreditation in the IBM Business Partner Information On Demand Specialty, a go-to-market program designed for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).
