ISM Achieves HP Software Specialist Partner Designation

    TAMPA, FL, January 11, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Integrated Solutions Management, Inc. (ISM) announced today that it has been recognized by Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) with its Specialist designation for HP Software. The HP Software Specialist designation recognizes partners that have invested in the competency required to leverage the unparalleled strength and breadth of the HP Software portfolio to increase sales and grow market share. ISM, leveraging its copyrighted Framework for IT Success(SM), commonly known as "Fritz ", helps HP customers improve business strategy alignment, project execution, operational excellence, financial performance, and IT value.

As an HP Software Specialist Partner, ISM is recommended by HP and recognized as having met high standards of expertise in a broad range of IT applications and HP BTO solutions. Marty Burke, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at ISM, stated, "Long-term customer satisfaction has and always will be priority #1 at ISM. So we're obviously proud to be recognized for by HP for our ability to deliver quality solutions to satisfied clients in both the private sector as well as the US Federal government."

Too many enterprise tool implementations are scored as successful simply upon going live. ISM considers implementations to be successful if two years down the road the client is actually elevating its IT Performance Maturity levels through the effective use of the solution throughout the organization. The true challenge is to ensure that the deployment of enterprise applications and tools are accompanied by full documentation, traceability, process definition, and organizational change management. ISM President Bill Banks added, "It's about being prepared organizationally and operationally for the days, months, and years following the initial implementation. Coupling the strength and breadth of the HP tool portfolio with ISM's process and implementation expertise has resulted in measurable and verifiable performance improvements to innumerable enterprise-level clientele."

A Specialist designation is the pinnacle of the HP PartnerONE Membership structure. Specialists achieve PartnerONE's most demanding financial and competency goals, so they can deliver the expertise and customer value required by HP's current market strategies.
