IBM announced today it is joining forces with Hoplon Infotainment, Online Game Services Incorporated (OGSI) and Render Rocket under separate agreements to help them innovate in the gaming and animation industries. Recognizing the critical role that new technology and services will play in the future of these industries, IBM is working with small and medium gaming companies around the world to empower innovative business models.

IBM offers a variety of hardware, software and service solutions specifically designed to help game companies manage their games environment, reduce expenses, increase efficiency and generate more revenue.
