SilverBlaze Solutions selected as an IBM PartnerWorld Beacon Award Finalist for Third Consecutive Year!

Prominent e-business Consulting Firm Nominated for Best Regional Consultant and System Integrator Solution – Americas.

Richmond Hill, Ontario (April 6, 2007) – IBM announced that SilverBlaze Solutions is among the nominees for the coveted and widely recognized IBM PartnerWorld Beacon Award*, which pays tribute to IBM Business Partners who set standards of business excellence, ingenuity and customer satisfaction, using IBM technologies.

The nomination is for the Nulogx Executive & Transportation Planner Dashboards developed using IBM’s WebSphere Portlet Factory and Workplace Dashboard Framework over an SOA architecture. It allows customers of Nulogx to analyze and drill-down on a variety of mission-critical business metrics, using a highly visual and intuitive interface named the Transportation Control Dashboard. 

"IBM continues to be a phenomenal sponsor for our organization," said David Harty, Director of Sales & Marketing at SilverBlaze Solutions.  "Three consecutive nominations pays tribute to the IBM Business Partner ecosystem, with our teams working together to provide real-value solutions for customers."

SilverBlaze and Nulogx - both IBM Independent Software Vendors – met at a Business Partner teaming event hosted by IBM distributor Avnet in 2006.  SilverBlaze is focused on e-business consulting and development based on IBM technologies.  Nulogx provides business-critical logistics applications, and their solutions (Transportation Control and Transportation Optimize) manage over 1.5 billion dollars of transportation movements annually.

Looking for a competitive advantage in the marketplace, Nulogx engaged SilverBlaze to lead a team that enhanced their IBM System i-based logistics solution, by seamlessly integrating an IBM WebSphere Portal-based dashboard targeted for executives and transportation planners.

Nulogx customers can now access an aggregated desktop that presents strategic company information in a dashboard interface, provides windows into the transportation management application and pulls industry related RSS feeds and links.
