Step 1: Register for an IBM ID
If you already have an IBM ID, advance to step 2. If you are an IBM employee, see instructions below.
- Register for an IBM ID
IBM ID is a single ID and password you can use across the ibm.com domain
Step 2: Register your company
If you know that your company is already registered in PartnerWorld, advance to step 3. If you're not sure, choose from the help resources listed in the "We're here to help" box on the right to contact your PartnerWorld team.
-
Submit a PartnerWorld program application for your company
Applications must be completed by an individual authorized to sign agreements on behalf of the legal company. The individual registering the company will also register themselves during this step. Once you've applied for membership as a new company, allow 2 business days for e-mail notification of approval.
-
Apply to sell IBM products and services (optional)
PartnerWorld membership allows you to access the information and support you need to work with IBM products and services; however, you must submit an additional application in order for your company to become authorized to sell or resell selected IBM hardware, software, services, and training. Allow 7-10 business days for approval of the Reseller application.
Step 3: Add yourself to your company's membership
If your company is already registered in PartnerWorld, you can add yourself to your company's membership profile.
-
Submit a profile application to add yourself to your company's membership
You must know your company's unique token first. The 16 alphanumeric character token can be obtained from your company's Authorized Profile Administrator (APA). The APA is the person within your company who is responsible for administering your company's relationship with IBM.
Not sure who your APA is? Choose from the help resources listed in the "We're here to help" box on the right to contact your PartnerWorld team.
After your APA approves your association with your company, you will receive a welcome e-mail from PartnerWorld.
