STERLING, Va. -- Cordys, Inc. today announced its global Alliance Program, bringing together a growing number of highly qualified business alliances into a global network to service clients. The Cordys Alliance Program will now make the Cordys technology and related solutions accessible to businesses through the professional network of valued alliances.

"As Service-Oriented Architecture driven solutions gain momentum, the need for professional service organizations to support the required system integration, architectural consulting and business process optimization continues to increase." says Justin Anderson, President of Cordys Americas.

The Cordys Alliance Program is a network of technology partners, system integrators, consulting companies, independent software companies and resellers that provide customers with Cordys-based solutions. The selected system integration and outsourcing alliances are highly respected organizations that have thorough knowledge of business process management (BPM), composite applications, enterprise application integration (EAI) services, project management, in addition to industry and domain expertise.

The Cordys Alliance Program also enables software vendors and global and regional consulting firms to develop, promote and market their products, services and solutions in conjunction with Cordys' technology. Through the Alliance Program, Cordys is committed to building strong relationships with industry leaders who know Cordys' products and services and who are as dedicated as Cordys to providing mutual customers with complete and competitive solutions. "Together, we are pursuing mutually beneficial ways to further develop company productivity, based on market demand and customer feedback," said Cordys' Justin Anderson.
