Align and EMC announce a key strategic partnership

Align and EMC are proud to announce Align’s acceptance into EMC’s “P-3 Program.” This partnership helps solidify our strategy to add value to our clients by optimizing their technology infrastructure and global data centers.

After working with EMC for several years, Align was invited to extend its relationship to preferred partner status. We were chosen for our core competency in project management and our robust tools – such as our proprietary Data Center Moves and Migration Module – to manage all phases of the relocation process and mitigate risk.

While EMC has traditionally limited membership to the P–3 program, the addition of Align shows the strength and value of our growing relationship. As a result of our successful partnership, we can better expand our
information infrastructure solutions and tools to customers globally. We view this expansion of the EMC/Align relationship as an important step to create additional value for our clients.

EMC offers a broad portfolio of systems, software and services to secure information and more effectively manage data center operations. When coupled with Align’s project management, process and tools, the yield is a full complement of the knowledge required to build, deploy and integrate efficient information infrastructures. Our customers can leverage EMC and Align’s combined resources for increased business flexibility and operational productivity.

“We are thrilled to be working with a technology pioneer like EMC,” said Art Dooling, leader of Align’s Relocate practice. “It’s an honor to be recognized for our capability to smoothly execute large-scale data center solutions.”   Together, EMC and Align will continue to help our customers’ meet their IT challenges through scalable infrastructure and cost optimization initiatives.
