IBM accepts Computer Architechs into IBM’s SVI program for Lotus Social SW & Unified Comm.

On July 26, 2010, IBM welcomed Computer Architechs International Corporation into the Software Value Incentive (SVI) business partner reseller authorization group (RAG) for Lotus Social Software & Unified Communications.

As part of IBM’s plan to ensure that its software and hardware resellers have adequate knowledge to sell its products, IBM has toughened its requirements for resellers by making specific technical and sales certifications in its products mandatory for proper authorization. One of those groups is the aforementioned Lotus Social Software and Unified Communications which authorizes a reseller, once accepted, to resell Lotus Sametime, Lotus Quickr and Lotus Connections software. The only exclusion in this RAG is the Sametime Unified Telephony part of the of the Sametime software family which requires its own RAG.
