RSA Corp Establishes IBM Partnership to Broaden Application Infrastructure Solutions

RSA Corp wins IBM partnership through demonstrated competency in application development and enterprise software implementation. As an IBM Advanced Business Partner, RSA Corp provides consulting and integration for WebSphere, Tivoli and Rational software. The offering focuses on planning, management and execution of projects related to application lifecycle and infrastructure.

“We help companies realize the functionality, reliability and performance benefits of their software integration initiatives,” said George Black, president and CEO of RSA Corp. “Getting implementations off the ground and running with high availability is crucial to realizing these benefits.”

Technology firms must demonstrate qualified skills, revenue achievement and successful implementation of IBM-based solutions to qualify for Advanced Business Partner. RSA Corp presented three case studies in which it engineered a network infrastructure, managed and executed an enterprise architecture software implementation, and delivered enterprise management practices.

IBM offers a comprehensive and broad portfolio of middleware technologies that allows companies to leverage a combination of optimization and innovation techniques. These technologies enable IT to run more efficiently and transform it to better align with business needs.

RSA Corp helps companies leverage middleware for:

• Service-oriented architecture (SOA): Design, implementation and management of an architecture built for flexibility, which builds applications and processes to allow for integration and reuse of resources.
• Information on-demand: Consolidate information management infrastructure to integrate data at a lower cost and deliver the right information to the right people, when and where they need it.
• Service management and governance: Connect and manage all services efforts across an IT organization with an emphasis on supporting evolving business strategy and objectives. RSA Corp helps businesses create the visibility and accountability needed to ensure that IT stays aligned with the business.

RSA Corp partnered with IBM software group to provide services around the WebSphere, Tivoli and Rational product lines. These services help companies deploy and utilize software products efficiently and with the goal of meeting business needs.

“Companies can transform diverse and disjointed application development into a more efficient software factory,” said Bob Keathley, IBM Practice Manager at RSA Corp. “Improving efficiencies accelerates software delivery, improves software quality and allows companies to meet audit and compliance requirements.”
