Built upon a mature and stable foundation, Ness Technologies has established an IBM Re-platforming Center of Competence (IRCC).  The IRCC leverages Ness’ substantial porting, migration and testing expertise and experience, in conjunction with its offshore development centers spread across  India, Singapore, Israel, Czech Republic and the US locations to help Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) reduce migration costs and accelerate time-to-market
 
Ness signed a Teaming Agreement with IBM in April 2006 to formalize Ness-IBM collaboration in the re-platforming arena. This agreement makes Ness an extended delivery arm of IBM and a go-to partner for the execution of re-platforming initiatives.  It enables Ness to leverage IBM assets such as IBM Innovation Centers (IICs) and IBM Software Labs (ISLs) for its ISV customers

This offering enables ISVs to migrate existing applications to open-standards-based IBM platforms, helping them to draw from the robust technology stack supported by the IBM platform

Supported by a dedicated pool of IBM technology and migration experts, with over 40+ person years of re-platforming experience the IRCC practice has evolved tools, methodologies and best practices, which have been built in collaboration with IBM over many years of the relationship

Ness’ IRCC helps ISVs transform their solutions to utilize the leading-edge capabilities of IBM technology, further expanding their market opportunity
