Marlborough, MA. - January 16, 2007 - OpenService ™, Inc., ., a leader in Enterprise Event Management (EEM) solutions, and The PowerTech Group, a leading industry security expert company, today announced a partnership that will offer a comprehensive suite of tools allowing companies to effectively assess and manage their security environments for IBM midrange systems.

PowerTech's Security Solutions have received the ServerProven endorsement from IBM and effectively compliment the enterprise Security Information Event Management (SIEM) solutions OpenService offers.
"Regulatory and compliance issues continue to put the spotlight on internal security procedures," said Mike Schmitt, President of OpenService. "Therefore, it is becoming more important for companies to implement a comprehensive, well thought out security policy and The PowerTech Group can do that for our customers with IBM midrange systems. Security solutions from The PowerTech Group are an excellent complement to our Security Management Center SIEM solution, which already provides support for IBM System i environments."
OpenService and PowerTech will be sponsoring a series of informative webinars focusing on many of the key security challenges AS/400 and System i clients face today. These 30 minute webinars will offer an interactive question and answer period and will be presented by a security expert from PowerTech and a representative from OpenService.
