GT Software is getting its foot in the door of the UK market using an exclusive partnership with Advanced.
Biggish Blue mainframe specialist Advanced has signed a deal with US player GT Software to add more options to those customers using Big Blue’s technology.
GT has developed the Ivory Suite, which allows a no-code drag and drop offering that gives those with IBM mainframes the chance to add API integrations.
Advanced has secured an exclusive relationship to both deliver and support the product in the UK and it will give the firm a proposition that should appeal to those customers dealing with legacy technology integration issues.
Advanced managing director, Tim Jones said: “We’ve had significant success helping organisations integrate or migrate from legacy systems – such as VMS and VME – to more modern technology environments. But as digital transformation accelerates across all organisations, we recognise that IBM mainframe integration can help broaden our portfolio.
“GT Software’s integration tool will help us accelerate our application modernisation plans and boost the value we can offer to customers, allowing them to extend the value of their existing investment in IBM mainframe systems.”
Wilson Rains, vice president of global alliances at GT Software, said: “Partnering with Advanced gives us a strong and effective route to market in the UK (and Europe). We’re confident this will help to replicate the success we’ve already achieved in North America.”
