The PartnerWorld program provides ISVs with comprehensive go-to-market sales support and technical resources that are specifically tailored to targeted industries. Concurrent’s participation includes IBM’s global, government, automotive, life-sciences and financial Industry Networks. As an Advanced Member of PartnerWorld, Concurrent will benefit from an even closer working relationship with IBM and will have access to a wider array of IBM resources.
“We are extremely pleased to become an Advanced Member of the IBM PartnerWorld Program,” said Warren Neuburger, COO of Concurrent. “Our participation in this program reinforces our strategic plan of expanding our global role in the software industry. We are excited about the opportunity to provide real-time, low-latency Linux development tools to IBM and their PartnerWorld members. IBM recognizes the value that Concurrent brings to the market with our real-time RedHawk™ Linux OS and NightStar™ software development tools suite.”
Concurrent is presently teaming with IBM on four major defense programs. Concurrent’s RedHawk Linux operating system and NightStar development tools were recently selected for the Navy’s next generation Aegis Open Architecture (AOA) program, a multimillion dollar opportunity. The Lockheed Martin developed Aegis weapon system is the world’s premier naval defense system and sea-based element of the United States ballistic missile defense system.
Benefits of participating in this program include a listing in the IBM PartnerWorld solution directory that highlights Concurrent’s RedHawk real-time operating system and NightStar comprehensive development tool set. Concurrent will participate with the IBM sales and marketing organization on major projects and lead generation activities.
