HarrisData and ABC Services to Offer Mid- Market Customers Advanced Technology Solutions

Mid-market customers will soon be able to take advantage of the technologies from HarrisData and ACB Services for improving business efficiencies, and for enabling easy management of processes and objectives. Both companies will unite to provide customers with a comprehensive offering which combines enterprise software solutions from HarrisData with the most advanced IBM (News - Alert) Power Servers to be delivered by ABC Services. HarrisData is expecting to increase its customer base across the regions of New York Tri-State and Colorado through its partnership with ABC Services.

In a release, Lane Nelson, president of HarrisData, said, “Our collaboration with ABC Services will deliver significant benefits to our users, extending the HarrisData offering to include the most modern technology and services from IBM in a single, affordable solution that will help drive efficiencies.”

Advanced capabilities of the IBM platform have been leveraged by HarrisData across its business applications. The result has been simplified management and improved business operations. The company’s browser-based applications supported by the IBM Power Systems platform provides users with an integrated solution capable of unifying enterprise resource planning, manufacturing and human resources, company-wide financials, as well as CRM.

The combined offering will be capable of supporting up-coming advancements which include tablet technology and Cognos (News - Alert) reporting tools. Both HarrisData and ABC Services depend on IBM technology to enable mission-critical support for addressing the requirements of mid-market customers.  

Additionally, the new offering will bring down total cost of ownership for customers who otherwise are strapped with increasing software maintenance and service fees. The solution will also enable faster implementation and will allow customers to obtain their software solution and hardware all in one discounted fixed package. The Omni License from HarrisData will offer customers five years of free support, source code as well as disaster recovery rights, among other benefits.

Hal Schwartz, VP of ABC Services, said that, “Our partnership with HarrisData will free our ERP customers from the chains of their existing ERP software, allowing ABC Services to deliver new high performance IBM Power solutions to these customers.”
