According to IBM, Consist will provide its clients in the financial services, telecommunications, energy and utilities, government and healthcare industries with new software applications that embeds IBM's software portfolio to support new IT infrastructure projects. Consist chose to standardize on IBM software to provide clients with a scalable and reliable platform to help transform their business and reduce operational costs.

Consist has unveiled two new software applications built on IBM DB2 database software to help customers efficiently develop, deploy and manage applications across the enterprise and make more informed business decisions. The new applications are the first in a suite of Consist software that will include the entire IBM software portfolio including DB2, Cognos, WebSphere, Rational, Tivoli and Lotus.

Natalio Fridman, CEO and founder of Consist, said: “Our mission is to be the strategic information technology partner for our clients and IBM software now provides the foundation for Consist's entire line of software offerings. By partnering with IBM, Consist will be able to enhance the value proposition to our clients.”

Rob Thomas, vice president for information management at IBM, said: “Clients today are looking for technologies from trusted partners who can help address their most pressing business issues. The combination of Consist and IBM technologies are tailored to the unique needs of our joint customers and provides an innovative platform companies can use to grow their business.”
