Industry leaders will tightly integrate to help IBM i organizations succeed at all stages of the PHP development lifecycle.
BCD Software LLC., a Quadrant Group company and an IBM i industry leader for almost 40 years, and Zend, the PHP company and provider of the #1 application server for mission-critical PHP applications, have announced a significant expansion to their existing partnership, establishing them as the industry leaders in PHP development on the IBM i platform.
Under the new agreement, BCD will provide custom PHP web application development professional services for Zend’s IBM i customers. BCD will also serve as a vital sales partner in providing Zend's technology integrated with WebSmart PHP, BCD’s rapid web application development solution.
BCD and Zend, both leaders in application modernization on IBM i, first joined forces in 2012 and have helped thousands of IBM i organizations develop, deploy, manage and scale PHP solutions. The new agreement better enables BCD and Zend to serve IBM i customers across the full PHP lifecycle, from rapid application development and professional services to application deployment and management.
According to Stu Schmidt, President of Zend Technologies, “We picked BCD as a partner because they provide world-class IBM i web application development services and support. We see BCD as a key strategic partner who will help modernization efforts and PHP in general on IBM i grow and prosper while providing tremendous value to our IBM i clients.”
“Zend is synonymous with PHP, and BCD is the leader in IBM i modernization and application development. This partnership will further solidify BCD and Zend’s positions as IBM i leaders in PHP web application development and deployment,” says Stephen Woodard, CEO of the Quadrant Group. “We’re very excited to deepen our partnership and provide even more integrated solutions for our collective customers.”
