Based on our high customer service ratings, we were selected to join the IBM Business Partner program at its inception in 1982, and have been active participants ever since. In 1985 we represented the Mid-Atlantic States at IBM's Round Table Seminar on Manufacturing and Distribution software, and continue to work closely with IBM to provide integrated solutions to customers.

In addition to assisting companies on a technology level, SMC Data advises companies on how their technology assets fit into the broader picture of their business strategy. Part of our experience includes helping companies in a "turn around" phase and those undergoing expansion via merger or acquisition. Integrating two or more disparate information technology systems into one, can be crucial in a company's expansion, and having a firm that understands both the technology and practical business implications of the effort is a key to success. As a result of SMC's achievements in this area, our Supply Chain Management Solutions have been profiled in both business and technology magazines, including Crain's and 3X/400 Computer Magazine .

We pride ourselves on our customer service and the long-term relationships we have with our clients. We credit this philosophy for resulting in the awards and testimonials we've received from various organizations.
