  
Netmarks and IBM jointly conducted a Technology and Solutions Update at the Cravings Restaurant at Fraser Place Residences in Makati last June 15, 2007. Among the attendees were: Aboitiz to GO, Ayala Land, Inc., Isuzu Philippines Corp., Makati Development Corp., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Phil, Inc., Nippon Express Philippines, Transnational Logistics Solutions Corp., Yazaki Torres Manufacturing, Inc., Yagimoku Philippines, Inc., and Yo-Zuri Philippines, Inc.
NMP President Mr. Philip Sanvictores gave a warm welcome to everyone and at the same time provided them with a brief overview of the NMP-IBM relationship. From a Bronze Partner in 2004 to 2006, NMP skipped the silver level and is now an IBM Gold Partner, owing this to three consecutive years of growth for both hardware and software revenue. This is the fruit of NMP’s effective representation of IBM especially among large Japanese multinational corporations operating in the Philippines.
Technology & Solutions Update discussions centered on IBM System x, System Storage, and IBM Software. System x was presented by Mr. Carlo Carreon, IBM Volume Sales Specialist, System Storage was presented by Ms. Jamie Bernabe, IBM Sales Specialist and IBM Software was presented by a group from Technopaq, led by Ms. Ara Gahol, Product Manager. A short open forum at the end of each segment to gave attendees a chance to ask questions relevant to their respective companies.
The attendees were enlightened with valuable information about the latest technology from IBM, some even commented that it was their first time to hear of several features of both IBM hardware and software.
