In addition to being a J.D. Edwards Alliance Partner, Exeter has become a member of IBM PartnerWorld® for Software, an IBM Business Partner program that significantly expands our e-business development capabilities.

This partnership makes good sense all around—especially for our clients—because J.D. Edwards 5 is built on IBM's open infrastructure technology, and the collaborative enterprise applications offered in the J.D. Edwards 5 product portfolio are pre-integrated with IBM's WebSphere® Application Server and Portal with embedded security, Lotus® collaboration tools and DB2® Universal Database.

J.D. Edwards' open, standards-based business applications running on IBM's open infrastructure technology enables more flexibility in the development of business-to-business collaboration processes across different computing platforms.

Exeter will be offering IBM's e-business software portfolio, one of the broadest and most widely recognized families in the industry. It embraces four powerful brands—DB2 Data Management, Lotus, Tivoli® and WebSphere—that can help our clients take full advantage of the new era of e-business, and profit even more from the collaborative enterprise solutions that we provide for them.
