The agreement also entails the building of solutions which integrate IBM’s middleware and hardware into joint PLM solutions offered to clients.

IBM’s global customer engagement experience, and proven project management and software technology capabilities are complemented by Geometric’s ability to support a wide range of PLM platforms, its global delivery capability and the expertise in building PLM technologies to suit specific market needs. The relationship also calls for Geometric to build skills and technologies based on IBM’s suite of middleware to meet IBM customers’ PLM enterprise and supply chain integration needs.
