AT&T and IBM Partner for Small Business Venture

AT&T and IBM have joined forces to develop, market and distribute end-to-end e-business systems for small- and mid-sized companies. The systems will reportedly be delivered through the companies’ joint channel partners and will include IBM software, a choice of IBM servers and managed Internet connectivity provided by AT&T.

IBM and AT&T said they will support an integrated distribution channel to help the growing number of small- and mid-sized firms to build an Internet presence.
