ID Grup and ASNA have signed an agreement for ID Grup to market the solutions and services of ASNA and for ASNA to market the ID Group cloud solutions.

The agreement between the two companies was signed at the offices of ASNA in Sant Cugat del Vallés by the ID Grup CEO Jordi Martínez Mestre and the ASNA CEO Carlos Valero Toda. Through this agreement, ASNA will now provide IBM i platform cloud services to its customers along with Windows and Linux platforms and managed services from those platforms.

In this way, ASNA customers with outdated IBM i platforms will have a new opportunity to upgrade with pay-as-you go formulas instead of needing large lump-sum investments up-front. In addition, they will be able to have Windows and Linux equipment, along with managed services of those platforms in a fast and agile way.

For its part, ID Grup will market the modernization and migration products of IBM i environments to its customers, as well as consulting services provided by ASNA, and expand its customer base of the new IBM i service in pay-per-use mode.
