(InfoWorld) - IBM Corp. and Lawson Software Inc. are expanding their existing relationship to jointly target small and midsize business (SMB) users, initially in North America and three specific industries. All applications vendors, including Microsoft Corp., Oracle Corp. and SAP AG, see the SMB market as a huge source of future revenue and each company is coming up with ways to hone in on that sector which, unlike the enterprise applications space, lacks clear market leaders. Under an agreement announced Thursday, IBM will be able to resell Lawson's S3 and M3 applications in North America, and will be involved in the development of the software for users in the financial services, fashion and food and beverage industries. Lawson will collaborate with consultants from IBM Global Business Services and the vendor's hardware, software and sales staff to come up with ways to solve business and technology issues specific to those vertical sectors. The agreement builds on an existing relationship between the two firms centered around helping users adopt SOA (service-oriented architecture). "This has been a long time coming," said Harry Debes, president and CEO of Lawson. "We've been talking for IBM for almost a year." Despite adding additional sales staff at a rate of 50 to 60 hires planned for this year, Lawson found itself unable to go after as many SMB users as it would like. "The IBM relationship will dramatically increase our reach," he added. Like IBM, Lawson defines SMB users as companies with annual revenues of between US$100 million and several billion dollars. IBM has previously resold Lawson software outside North America, notably the M3 applications Lawson gained from its 2006 $480 million purchase of Intentia, but on a very ad hoc basis, according to Debes. "There was no formal agreement around it," he said. "We've crafted this agreement so it could become the basis of a global agreement." The plan is to see how the relationship with IBM works in North America over the course of the next 12 months and then determine whether to widen its scope to other countries and other industries. "We wanted to walk before we can run," Debes said. He reassured Lawson's resellers elsewhere in the world that any future moves within IBM would take place taking into account existing partnerships. "At the same time, we don't want to become overly dependent on one channel for revenue," he added. The other industry sectors Lawson focuses on are health care, retail, government and education, manufacturing, wholesale distribution and service and rental. IBM and Lawson already have around 3,000 joint customers, but Debes said, "There wasn't very much togetherness" about how those sales were achieved. He's hopeful the new formalized relationship will result in significant new business for Lawson. Debes isn't worried about the continued speculation that IBM might re-enter the applications market, which it quit in 1999. "It doesn't keep me up at night," he said. "I firmly believe they will be in the apps space. They're not pretending to be in the ERP space, they already are." He pointed to IBM Italy's recent acquisition of several ERP companies. "They're smack dab in the middle of the ERP market. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when," he added. "If theyâre wise, theyâll look to do partnerships with Lawson, if theyâre foolish, theyâll do SMB partnerships with SAP." Â

(InfoWorld) - Lawson Software continues to broaden its relationship with close partner IBM as the midmarket applications vendor Monday announced plans to enter the hosting market and use more of IBM's middleware. Building on the company's existing Total Care maintenance and support program, Lawson Total Care Platinum due out this month will cover software delivery, hosting, support, and application management services. Lawson didn't reveal specific pricing, but said the offering will be available on a monthly per user subscription basis with companies having to commit to at least a year's service. Lawson made the announcement at its Conference and User Exchange (CUE) taking place this week in San Diego. Customers had been asking Lawson to provide hosting for its ERP (enterprise resource planning) applications for some time, but lacking the necessary resources to offer the service itself, Lawson previously encouraged users to go with third parties, according to Lawson CEO Harry Debes. However, once customers made it clear they'd prefer to deal with a single organization, Lawson looked for a hosting provider with global reach and service capabilities. Over the past six to nine months, Lawson interviewed a number of hosting providers, opting for IBM because of its worldwide presence and its attractive pricing, Debes said. Customers will sign a hosting deal with Lawson that will commit to 99.7 percent system uptime, while IBM will provide hosting in its datacenters. On another front, Lawson has expanded its existing SOA (service-oriented architecture) technology partnership with IBM to allow the applications vendor to embed more IBM middleware in its System Foundation technology stack. Last year, Lawson announced that IBM's WebSphere would be the core middleware for all future versions of its applications. After making that deal, Lawson then realized there were other pieces of IBM software it should've bundled into its stack and so went back and negotiated with IBM to add in WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Debes said. "In each of these situations, we've not given IBM the inside track or most favored nation status," Debes said, it's just that, after consideration of other vendors' offerings, IBM has proved to be the most appropriate choice. Last month,Â Lawson announcedÂ that IBM will resell Lawson's S3 and M3 applications in North America targeting small to midsize businesses and will also be involved in the development of the software for users in the financial services, fashion and food and beverage industries. Already, some Lawson operations in Europe have begun negotiating with IBM about their own reselling arrangements using the North American agreement as a framework, according to Debes. IBM has previously resold Lawson software outside North America, notably the M3 applications Lawson gained from its 2006 $480 million purchase of Intentia, but without the benefit of a formal arrangement. At CUE, Lawson also unveiled a fresh user interface that will eventually become the common interface across its entire range of applications. The Smart Client UI developed in conjunction with designer Frog Design Inc. over the past 12 months will first appear in Lawson's M3 7.1 applications due to start appearing in May. "We'll leapfrog the GUIs that are available now, including Microsoft's," Debes said. The new UI enables users to carry out specific customization and personalization to their applications and to incorporate two- and three-dimensional graphics and video. Â
