Computer technology giants Microsoft and IBM have burgeoning partnerships with the N.C. Research Campus.

Both companies are working with the David H. Murdock Research Institute, the public charity that owns and operates the Core Laboratory at the Research Campus in Kannapolis.

The relationships with IBM and Microsoft are important but still formative, said Dr. Kenneth Russell, chief information officer for the Murdock Research Institute. He said the companies will collaborate with the institute and play an active role at the Research Campus, which focuses on human health, nutrition and agriculture.

"We are looking for partners, not vendors," Russell said. "This is different than going out and buying services and products."

(The campus is using new software from Microsoft and is working with IBM and N.C. State on a “virtual campus” concept the newspaper reported.)
