New York, NY (ots)

Companies to Offer Open, e-Business On Demand
Solutions
Relavis, the leading provider of CRM solutions for Lotus and
WebSphere Portal, has joined IBM's ISV Advantage Initiative, a
program designed to provide independent software vendors (ISVs) with
technical and marketing support to help meet the specific information
technology needs of small and medium business (SMB) companies.
Customers are seeking solutions that help them better integrate
processes and applications internally and externally and allow them
to quickly respond to changing market opportunities on demand.
Relavis' CRM solutions innovatively leverage IBM's collaborative
technologies to increase customer revenue, profitability & customer
loyalty. Relavis provides companies comprehensive solutions for
sales, marketing and customer service and support. Organizations can
raise revenues by allowing users to effectively track and collaborate
on sales opportunities, streamline the lead generation and
distribution process, document and track support issues and costs,
and monitor the overall relationship between service and customers
over time.
Enabling Relavis CRM on IBM Lotus Domino, Lotus Workplace,
WebSphere Portal and Linux will help Relavis expand into the SMB
market faster and more effectively than is possible with proprietary
platforms.
"We have been partnering with IBM since 1991. Along the way, we've
participated in a series of different programs from Premier Partner
to Strategic Alliance. IBM has done a great job in providing the
features and benefits ISVs derive from these programs to coincide
with ever changing market conditions," states Robert DeMaio, CEO and
President of Relavis. "However, now with the ISV Advantage
Initiative, we can tap directly into IBM's market research and
platform and product strengths for the SMB market allowing Relavis to
deliver a potent solution that provides exceptional business value to
our customers."
"Medium sized businesses are seeking open and dependable solutions
that are cost effective and easy to maintain," said Buell Duncan,
general manager, ISV & Developer Relations, IBM. "We are pleased that
Relavis has joined ISV Advantage and recognize the value of working
together to best meet our joint customer needs in the SMB market."
The IBM WebSphere family includes products that are designed and
priced specifically for small and medium businesses -- easy to
install and manage, scalable to grow with a business, rich in
functionality, and based on open standards to allow integration with
existing software and hardware platforms.
Relavis will also work closely with IBM to expand its visibility
in target vertical industries through various co-marketing and sales
activities.
ISV Advantage is administered by PartnerWorld for Developers, the
developer resource for IBM Business Partners. It is a worldwide
program designed to help software developers reach broader markets,
lower their costs of doing business, and take their products to
market faster. For more information, visit
