29 April 2008 IBM has signed a business partnership agreement with Tribold, recognition of the value that Tribold’s solution adds to IBM’s software portfolio for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). The two companies are already working together on a number of customer engagements and both companies expect to see Tribold’s software increasingly incorporated into IBM Systems Integrator bids in the CSP market sector.

Tribold CEO John Rainger said: “The skill of IBM is in identifying those technologies and companies with which to partner that add disproportionate value to its offering in key markets. The partnership between Tribold and IBM is an endorsement of the strength of our offering and confirmation of the strategic role that a central product catalog now plays in any CSP’s architecture.”
