I was in Orlando this weekend and attended the IBM Lotusphere 2009 event. Whow, that was a big turnout.

Also, OpenSpan has achieved Advanced Level World-wide Business Partner status within IBM’s PartnerWorld.

This continued expansion of the OpenSpan reach through partners like Software AG, Microsoft, IBM and Tibco is proof that the OpenSpan desktop integration technology is not only necessary, but in demand. Broad Integration techniques is key to successfully unifying user applications on the desktop and having them interact with other client applications and server components, regardless of underlying platform technology. We are pleased to have IBM on our team :) And of course, being on the IBM team.
