What's New
New this year, as a Beacon Award winner, if your customer is publically referenceable and you and your customer agree to participate, we'll professionally develop a case study about your customer's solution, offering you a valuable new marketing document to add to your portfolio. That’s a value that could cost you thousands of dollars to produce on your own.
In addition, your solution is eligible to be listed in the IBM Customer Reference Database. IBM sales representatives and other Business Partners view references in this resource more than 45,000 times per month for information. This offers your solution the potential for extra visibility -- inside and outside of IBM.
This year, you can nominate solutions delivered through Value Nets in which you participate. All you have to do is make sure your Value Net is registered in PartnerWorld Value Net Connections. And, if your Value Net is a winner, you can share in the case study of the solution installed at your customer reference. Each firm that’s a winner or finalist will also receive a handsome crystal trophy.
