Building your solutions with IBM middleware and hardware products and services not only provides you with the confidence that you have the capabilities to address your clients' most critical business problems; but may also qualify you for the PartnerWorld Advanced level and for industry-optimized benefits in the industry networks.
If you need assistance, the IBM Virtual Innovation Center provides all Business Partners with easy access to technical development, training, and sales support to help complete projects.
To qualify for industry-optimized benefits, your solution must be enabled on two qualifying IBM middleware products and one qualifying IBM System platform or comparable services.
Additional qualifying products
