RALEIGH, N.C. and BANGALORE, India, May 11, 2011 Maintec Technologies, a provider of Remote Data Center Management, IT Staffing, and Application Development and Maintenance services on IBM Mainframe and Midrange Platforms, has earned Core Vendor Status with IBM India.

Receiving this Core Vendor Status Award from IBM highlights the significant contribution that Maintec has made and continues to make to the rapidly growing global Mainframe resource requirement. This is a significant accomplishment for Maintec as it affirms our capability to deliver a large number of resources with required competency, says Maintec Founder and President Sonny Gupta. Achieving Core Supplier status not only warrants our continued involvement with IBM, but is also a testament to the quality of our services and our focus on customer service.

A Core Supplier contract with IBM is typically valid for one year and renewed based on the suppliers performance and continued commitment to quality service. Achieving this status reflects an organizations capability to deliver quality, and enhances the relationship between the customer and supplier.

We maintain a high level of flexibility that permits us to scale operations up and down efficiently and quickly, plus, our internal practices allow us to move more promptly than the industry norms in finding the right skills for customers, Sonny says. This is an important breakthrough which also validates our focus on developing the right high-quality skills to facilitate the growing demands of Remote Infrastructure Management and Data Center management needs for IBM Mainframe and Midrange Technologies, and also on delivering to our customers, such as IBM, on time, concluded Sonny.

Larger companies like IBM enjoy better leverage, control and manageability by working with a limited number of suppliers. Its also more cost effective for a larger company to work with a limited number of suppliers. Core vendors are expected to initiate a low-overhead, rapid-delivery model that focuses on agile process improvement which assures availability of services, products, and professionals with unmatched time, cost, and project risk benefits. Bestowing valued vendors with Core Supplier status also creates an opportunity for improving and building upon existing relationships that are founded on quality, trust and reliability.
