Business Partners

IBM Business Partner
Arguably the biggest name in the IT industry, IBM is the supplier of Informix Database products, as used by the majority of Century’s customers.

Informix has been a pre-eminent choice of open database for mission critical on-line transaction processing applications, in mid-large corporations, for many years. Century became an IBM Business Partner through IBM’s acquisition of Informix Corporation in April 2001.

As a Business Partner, Century appreciates the benefits to the Informix product that IBM’s investment has provided, as well as the option for extending our reach into IBM’s DB2 set of database products in the future.
