Bluewave Group and Turtle Partnership Ltd partner to bring extended services, size and skills to a wider range of customers.
The Turtle Partnership and the Bluewave Group (www.bluewave.ie, www.besystems.eu) have been cooperating in the marketplace for many years, offering services in the high-skill infrastructure and solution development range across the IBM, BlackBerry and Microsoft product brands. Following on from these successful joint endeavours, and in order to formalize this relationship, we are very pleased to announce that The Turtle Partnership has become a member of the Bluewave group partnering programme.
This new organisation has an unique depth of skills in Development, Support and Administration; "The addition of the Turtle Partnership to the Bluewave programme was a natural fit, and will have a very positive impact on our customer offerings" said Harry Dunne of Bluewave Group. Mike Smith of the Turtle Partnership added that "The combination of services, help desk operations, technical skill and personalities between the two companies allows both entities to seamlessly enhance their range and depth".
The Turtle Partnership has been in operation for 13 years offering Strategy, Support, Administration and Development skills around Lotus Collaborative software, focusing on the Domino, Sametime and Quickr product ranges. Turtle's customers range from small organisations to major corporates.
