ARMONK (dpa-AFX) - Monitise Plc (MONI.L) and International Business Machines Corp (IBM) announced a global digital commerce and resourcing alliance. Bringing together the best of both companies' mobile banking, payments and commerce technology, this alliance brings IBM sales and specialist resources to global clients with the full spectrum of advice, solution design and delivery of Monitise's Mobile Money services.
Pursuant to the collaboration, IBM's global go-to-market investment of dedicated resources and promotional initiatives, globally and in region, would pair with Monitise staff to pursue Mobile Money opportunities. As part of today's agreement, teams from Monitise's UK development and integration business known as Professional Services, including a number of contractors, would be transferred into IBM; in turn IBM would offer services back to Monitise. This collaboration would substantially improve Monitise's ability to handle larger custom projects globally, further to implementing standardised solutions.
