Proximity and Fresche today announced a partnership to market and support Fresche’s range of IBM i management and modernisation tools and technologies in the UK and Ireland.

Based in Leeds and Nottingham, Proximity has over 40 experts that develop, deliver and maintain solutions and applications for companies in the logistics, manufacturing, retail and finance sectors, with a particular specialism in IBM i modernisation and development products and services.

Dave Pickburn, director at Proximity said:

“We are delighted to be part of the new Fresche Power Partner programme. We have had an existing long-term business relationship with BCD and Quadrant Software who Fresche acquired earlier in the year. We can now offer IBM i-based companies an unrivalled range of products and services to manage, develop, modernise and mobilise IBM i applications.

Strategically, the partnership with Fresche also complements our existing agreements with ZebraTechnologies, Raz-Lee Security and as the only accredited partner in the UK for Infor’s IBM i-based LX and BPCS ERPs”.

Fresche’s range of application management and modernisation solutions includes X-Analysis View and Advisor, which provide automated tools for analysing and documenting entire application data environments so that companies can develop IBM i applications more accurately and with less testing. The Newlook Suite of 5250 green screen modernisation tools (Developer and Server) compliments BCD Software (now part of Fresche Solutions)’s solutions to enable businesses to develop modern web, desktop and mobile application on the IBM i.

Paul Hodgkinson, Channel Manager EMEA at Fresche said:

“We are delighted that Proximity has joined our new Power Partner Programme. Fresche has a long history of helping customers manage and modernise their existing IBM i systems so that they can leverage the investment they have already made in the platform and deliver significant productivity gains. Proximity’s expertise and knowledge in the IBM i environment will help Fresche continue this tradition”.
