“Focusing on the deployment of our [IBM] platform is an important area we are looking at … we are looking to extend it on both ends so when [a partner] influences a client’s decision, and when they deploy, they can really give a full lifecycle experience around our program and incentive stack.”
Now that IBM has spun off its Global Technology Services (GTS) business, Kyndryl, the company has a much greater need for its partners, says David LaRose, general manager, IBM Partner Ecosystem. As such, IBM is set to further modernize its PartnerWorld program in 2022. A key focus will be on “activating this managed services element of our partners to help build on and integrate the IBM platform into our clients.”
