TO: jemad:

After your explanation, I realized that you are talking about the System House team of IBM. It is group of engineers and researchers to give consulting and service assistance to the own people of IBM and its partners.

The complete name of the group or team is: IBM SWG System House (IBM Software Group Solution Test). Really, it is a proper noun of the IBM. The company didn’t translate it to our languages according to the information that I researched. Everywhere, its people and partners use the name in English. For this reason, we have to use the same English name without translation. In Spanish language, it is not obligation to translate foreign proper nouns from other languages.

The sentence that you gave for the translation, we have to rewrite in Spanish in the following way:

“Como un partner de IBM, “System House” nos provee a nosotros consultoría y servicios para soluciones de almacenamiento de IBM”.

or

“Como partner de IBM, “The System House” nos provee a nosotros consultoría y servicios para soluciones de almacenamiento de/con IBM”.


I cannot give access to the documents that talk about the IBM System House because it is confidential. It is only available for IT analysts, partners and members of the own IBM.

I suggest don’t translate these terms to Spanish language because a textual translation: “Casa de Sistemas” doesn’t have sense and it is not an independent company of information systems. It is the same IBM. It is a team or group of technical people of IBM who assists to the marketing and commercial departments of IBM and partners.

During the last 12 years, IBM have created different “groups” to test products, solutions and services related to projects of the own people of the company and partners. These groups are located across of the world in different laboratories. They work in different projects like “storage solutions” to facilitate the business operations and the implementation of own solutions and solutions developed by the partners.

SUMMARY: My suggestion is not translate these words, because nobody will understand you. Probably, you have to write an additional comment or note, explaining that the IBM System House is a group of engineers of IBM.

Thank you,

Domingo Trassens
