Aia achieves Industry Optimized level for banking and government in IBM PartnerWorld

Aia Software announced that it has achieved the ‘Industry Optimized’ level for both Banking and Government in IBM’s PartnerWorld Industry Networks. This achievement elevates Aia’s status as an IBM partner and provides access to additional benefits such as the ability to utilize IBM's sales, marketing and technical expertise to develop and deliver on-demand solutions that meet customer requirements in the banking and government industries.

The Public Sector is faced with constantly changing regulations and demands for more sophisticated and increasingly web-based document and forms production capabilities. Banks and other financial institutions are seeking process-enhancing solutions that provide their users with powerful and advanced capabilities, streamline their IT systems, and strengthen their customer relationships.

Aia Software provides leading organizations in both industries with advanced document generation solutions designed to support the core business processes of these enterprises. Aia’s ITP Document Platform can integrate with business applications running on any IBM platform spanning zSeries, iSeries, pSeries and xSeries. Additionally, ITP can merge data from any popular data source into business documents. These sources include DB/2 UDB, XML and Lotus Notes databases. Also, the browser-based ITP Correspondence Platform can run on IBM WebSphere.

"PartnerWorld Industry Networks is mobilizing thousands of Independent Software Vendors, helping them to develop customized industry solutions for customers,” said Mariane ter Veen, Manager Alliances and Business Development. “Customers aren’t seeking a one-size-fits-all solution—they want tailored, industry-specific solutions that can help them solve their business challenges. Through PartnerWorld Industry Networks, IBM is working closely with Aia Software to develop open and flexible solutions that match customer needs."

Business Partner Manager Christoffel Klimbie of Aia added: "PartnerWorld provides us with the channel to meet other ISV’s who are looking for out-of-the-box correspondence and document generation solutions. Several leading ISV’s have decided to integrate ITP rather than build and maintain their own in-house solutions. Taking this approach, ISVs can focus on their core business whilst Aia Software keeps enhancing ITP with new, rich features like the recently added Text-Block based correspondence solutions".
