Coverage of IBM’s complete ECM portfolio Extensive know-how specifically for medium-sized firms Precisely tailored solutions from one source Ulm, 10/07/2008 – As one of just a few IBM partners, FRITZ & MACZIOL offers the complete IBM range in the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) sector with IBM Content Manager and FileNet solutions. Due to its comprehensive expertise in these fields, the leading company for software, systems and services has now been accepted into the IBM FileNet ValueNet partner programme as well. Thanks to the status this has bestowed, FRITZ & MACZIOL has clearly proven its extensive know-how – which was previously based on the classic IBM Content Manager portfolio – particularly in the software areas of archiving and ECM solutions for medium-sized companies. Since its takeover by IBM, the FileNet portfolio has expanded the ECM field at IBM. As a long-term IBM Premier Business Partner, FRITZ & MACZIOL initiated the build-up of comprehensive know-how for the conception and realisation of FileNet solutions early on, so it could provide tailor-made solutions to meet customers’ increasing requirements for efficient Enterprise Content Management. The outstanding expertise offered here was just one of the decisive factors in the acceptance as an IBM FileNet ValueNet Partner. The other high requirements set by FileNet for a partnership included criteria such as solutions expertise, potential, industry focus and product portfolio, as well as achieved certifications. Stephan M. Roßbach, Technical Department Head of IBM Software Solutions at FRITZ & MACZIOL, sees a valuable expansion for the solutions portfolio of his department in the recent decision by IBM ECM: “Our predominant goal is to be able to offer customers tailor-made solutions for enterprise content management from one source; there are now increasing requirements on archiving corporate data with regard to legal provisions. Companies must also consider continual optimisation of their processes to stay ahead of the competition. With our extensive know-how from countless projects we offer our customers a high level of investment security. As one of just a few suppliers of the entire IBM ECM range, we are an ideal and reliable partner, especially for medium-sized companies.” FRITZ & MACZIOL is presenting universal archiving and ECM solutions at this year’s DMS EXPO, Cologne, (9/9-11/9/2008) in Hall 7 / Stand E022/C021 with a demo area on the IBM stand. Broad live demonstrations will enable visitors to find out about FRITZ & MACZIOL's range of services and the possibilities for document, SAP, portal and e-mail archiving that will not need upgrading in the future.
