ROCHESTER, NY - Videk has entered into IBM's Hardware Vendor Partner Program (HVPP), it was announced today.  The goal of HVPP is to further enhance the sales of both companies' products and services through a structured program that may include joint marketing, product development, and field sales support. 
Through the HVPP, Videk will support IBM's sales force on the Print Verification Stand vision solution and arm them with technical information and literature to distribute to their customer and prospect base.  In addition, Videk and IBM will work together to jointly present their products at industry trade shows.  The HVPP agreement also provides the opportunity for the engineering teams of both companies to work closely together in developing new solutions.
The two companies collaborated earlier to incorporate Videk's Print Verification Stand™ along side the IBM fleet of production printers that are installed at United States Treasury's check printing facilities throughout the United States.
"IBM and Videk worked together very successfully on the Treasury program," said Tom Slechta, president, Videk. "We expect our participation in this program will lay the foundation for us to develop a Videk vision solution that will be tightly integrated with an IBM printer and overall system."
"Through the IBM Hardware Vendor Partner Program, IBM will look to further develop its existing relationship with Videk to deliver new and stronger solutions," said Bruce Otte, manager worldwide production solutions strategy & marketing, IBM Printing Systems. "The IBM HVPP also will enable us to further expand our reach to IT departments and commercial printers."
