For many years A&B Groep works closely together with IBM. In 2014 the partnership between both companies became even stronger due to the closer cooperation between A&B Groep and the IBM sales teams in the Benelux, United Kingdom and the Nordics. When working on mutual clients IBM and A&B Groep work closely together and act as one organization.

By offering Telecom Expense Management solutions to international enterprises A&B Groep makes it possible to assist these valuable customers with their telecom management. In 2015 A&B Groep was already a nominee for the IBM Outstanding Commerce award. Last Monday A&B Groep officially received the 2016 award.
