Computer Architechs becomes an IBM Passport Advantage Reseller

On June 16, 2009, IBM approved Computer Architechs International Corporation as an Passport Advantage Reseller. With this approval, Computer Architechs is now allowed to resell IBM software to its customers.

Until now, we have focused on providing only IBM software related services to our clientele seeking solutions based on IBM products. However, over time, we found that our customers felt more comfortable purchasing software from the same company that was providing professional services. As a reseller, we can now become more of a one-stop source for our customers, which will not only help us to further strengthen our relationship with them, but it will also allow us to provide more accurate and timely pricing quotes since we understand best what software our customers are looking for.

Computer Architechs becomes an IBM Advanced Level Business Partner

On July 24, 2009, after more than 11 years as an IBM Member level business partner, Computer Architechs International Corporation was accepted as an IBM Advanced level business partner. We believe that IBM made this decision after realizing our strong commitment to IBM through increased certifications in its Lotus products and improved sales.

We hope to use our stronger relationship with IBM to provide even better support to our current and future customers who rely on IBM software and hardware products to run their business. We also thank IBM for recognizing our committed efforts to support and promote its products.
