IBM Selects CALNET as Preferred Vendor of Choice

May 20, 1999

Big Blue and CALNET entered into an agreement in May of 1999, where IBM Global Services will utilize CALNET's search, acquisition and deployment services for attaining the world's best technical talent.

"IBM Global Services (GS) needed a vendor that didn't compete with them on the hardware side, but would preserve the IBM solutions offering. And it was a plus that CALNET is familiar with IBM's culture and global infrastructure. CALNET's Global Delivery Services is an ideal match for IBM's GS division. Already we have been engaged by IBM's European 390 Division and contacted by IBM's Japanese Software Development Division. This relationship has caused quite a stir," said Glenn Hughes, Vice President of IT Solutions for CALNET.

CALNET's "just-in-time staffing" solutions allow customers to reduce capital expenditures and increase employee productivity and moral. These services are designed to help clients significantly improve both revenue and profit performance by creating a more performance-oriented focus.
