Spotlight on innovation
"Through our partnership with IBM, we can focus our start-up company resources on high-value innovation while still having a worldwide sales and marketing impact." – Dr. John Busch, President and Chief Executive Officer, Schooner Information Technology
The performance issues, massive data growth and energy inefficiencies associated with Web 2.0 and data-intensive enterprises are crippling businesses. It was seeing these pain points that led Schooner to partner with IBM in creating and marketing a new generation of data access application appliances.
