IT departments in the UK regard application modernization to be a top priority.
Business Computer Design Intl. and Proximity Resourcing, Ltd. and CSI, Ltd., IBM i marketplace leaders in the UK and Ireland, have announced the finalization of a strategic partnership between the companies.

Proximity and CSI, while well established in their respective specialties, share similar management.
According to Eric Figura, BCD’s director of Marketing and Sales, “We are very pleased to have formed this strategic alliance and signed this exclusive agreement. IBM i shops in the UK and Ireland will find that our joint business relationship will lead to elevated responsiveness and increased product satisfaction and support for our application modernization solutions.”
Proximity’s Managing Director Dave Pickburn said, “IT departments in the UK like their Power Systems servers and they regard application modernization to be a top priority. We needed to be able to offer proven solutions that make the modernization process much easier and faster to implement. After careful review, the decision was unanimous to partner with BCD because of their robust product line and great reputation in the marketplace.”
