Bluewave Group and Turtle
Partnership Ltd partner to bring
extended services, size and skills to a wider range of customers.

The
Turtle Partnership and the Bluewave
Group (www.bluewave.ie,
www.besystems.eu)
have been cooperating in the marketplace for many years, offering services
in the high-skill infrastructure and solution development range across
the IBM, BlackBerry and Microsoft product brands. Following on from these
successful joint endeavours, and in order to formalize this relationship,
we are very pleased to announce that The Turtle Partnership has become
a member of the Bluewave group partnering programme.

This new organisation has an unique depth of skills in Development, Support
and Administration; "The addition of the Turtle
Partnership to the Bluewave programme was a natural fit, and will have
a very positive impact on our customer offerings" said Harry Dunne
of Bluewave Group. Mike Smith of the Turtle Partnership added that "The
combination of services, help desk operations, technical skill and personalities
between the two companies allows both entities to seamlessly enhance their
range and depth".

The Turtle
Partnership has been in operation for 13 years offering Strategy, Support,
Administration and Development skills around Lotus Collaborative software,
focusing on the Domino, Sametime and Quickr product ranges. Turtle‘s
customers range from small organisations to major corporates.  Turtle
currently provide support for hundreds of servers in companies worldwide,
with 40% of their customers in the US and 60% in Europe.  As administrators,
Turtle
provide hosting, design and management services for Lotus products as well
as coexistence and integration expertise for Exchange, Groupwise and Sharepoint.
 As Developers they provide high-end Notes, Web 2.0, Blackberry and
iPhone development skills.

The Bluewave group has been in operation for 10 years offering a complete
range of Domino and Websphere related services.  Bluewave’s traditional
market has mainly been the UK & Ireland, but increasingly clients are
availing of Bluewave skills from the far east and mainland Europe.  In
December 2007, Bluewave acquired UK based IBM Business Partner BE Systems
further strengthening the group as a leading IBM Collaborative software
partner.  Consultants from the Bluewave group regularly are invited
to speak at industry events covering topics ranging from advanced Domino
infrastructure topics to mobile development and best practice.
