TORONTO – IBM has signed a seven-year contract with Rogers Communications for information technology services and support, the companies announced.
“IBM will support Rogers’ ongoing information technology transformation with a stable and highly available IT environment,” reads the press release.
“To accommodate future growth, Rogers will have immediate access to IBM’s state-of-the-art data centre located outside Toronto. This will be linked to Rogers’ existing data centre facility using Rogers Business Services networking technology.
