Colorado Springs, CO, June 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Xtivia, Inc., a Premier IBM Business Partner has been accepted into the IBM ValueNet programs for the IBM Optim and IBM InfoSphere portfolios.

IBM Software ValueNet is a new Business Partner program. It provides unique relationships with IBM Business Partners and is designed to reward Business Partners who invest heavily in skills and high-value solutions based on the designated IBM software.

Xtivia received the approvals for IBM Optim & InfoSphere portfolios giving the company the ability to sell software in these two portfolios in addition to the traditional software portfolio including Informix and DB2.
