June 20th, 2002, Hawthorne, NY -  IPO2U.COM has joined IBM Development Partnership with the objective to bring its contribution to e-commerce solutions to the business communities along with IBM's products and services. IBM's PartnerWorld for Developers provides a broad range of marketing and sales resources to help partners forge profitable relationships with IBM and IBM Business Partners, generate worldwide demand and sales for partner's products, and successfully execute partner's go-to-market strategy. 

As a retired IBMer of 25 years service at IBM T. J. Watson Resaerch Center, Dr. Chang, founder of IPO2U.COM is excited about this partnership. Quoting his words, "This is all about marketing and sales. Many start-up or small companies do not have the experience nor the resources for doing marketing and sales to launch their products and services. IBM with its human resources, broad range of technology, products and services and a world-wide customer base can bring co-marketing opportunities, offer sales tools and provide marketing materials and experiences to help partners to establish a foothold for their product offerings. IBM is a fair company and IPO2U.COM will have a fair chance to succeed working with IBM." IPO2U.COM intends to offer its Mi-Card product and e800 Directory service along with IBM hardware, software and services.
