IBM and GlobalLogic Form Americas Alliance to Deliver Global Product Development to Independent Software Vendors

Joint solution will deliver full software product lifecycle services to ISV's on IBM WebSphere Integration and Application Infrastructure Software


Vienna, VA - October 18, 2007 – IBM and GlobalLogic Inc. today announced an alliance to deliver global product development services to Independent Software Vendors (ISV) based on the IBM WebSphere integration and application infrastructure software. The joint solution can help ISV's with all aspects of the software product lifecycle, including design, development and support. It is focused on helping bring quality software products to market rapidly and economically.


Through this agreement, IBM ISV customers can partner with GlobalLogic for global product development and gain access to an integrated process, platform, infrastructure, people and management capability. With development and support facilities in the US, India, Ukraine and China, GlobalLogic is able to help ISVs realize their goal of rapidly building and supporting quality software products that deliver revenue. The integrated solution consists of:


  • Product domain knowledge in mobile, telecom, financial, Web2.0, open source, BI, security, VoIP, Embedded, SaaS
  • Distributed software development expertise through GlobalLogic VelocityT, the company's distributed Agile method and platform
  • Full product lifecycle offering including conceptualization, realization, support and demand generation
  • Global centers of software development and support in the US, India, Ukraine and China
  • Technology platform expertise with IBM WebSphere

"IBM has consistently provided leadership in offering integration and application infrastructure software to its customers," said John Hitchcock, vice president of marketing at GlobalLogic. "As IBM's start-up and emerging ISV customers increasingly look to IBM for assistance in building, porting and supporting their software products on WebSphere, there will be a gap in specialized resources available to support their requirements. GlobalLogic will fill that gap. As a specialist in product engineering, GlobalLogic has helped our technology partners launch over 800 software products worldwide."


As a member of IBM PartnerWorld, GlobalLogic will work closely with IBM to jointly fulfill the WebSphere related global product development needs of both company's respective clients. Over 140 emerging and established technology companies have partnered with GlobalLogic for product engineering. As the recognized leader in global product development for technology companies, GlobalLogic has helped clients such as Kaboodle, Varolii and Autodesk launch over 800 innovative products in mobile, Web2.0, Financial, Telecom and other domains.


GlobalLogic focuses exclusively on global software product R&D for technology companies, not IT services. In addition to product testing and quality assurance, its services include product analysis, conceptualization and realization, migration and porting, and product maintenance and support. GlobalLogic's distributed Agile development methodology, GlobalLogic VelocityT, helps shrink the software product development lifecycle and ensure that robust, high-quality product releases are delivered on time.
