IBM Certified as Five-Star Vendor From CMP’s VARBusiness Magazine


WEBWIRE

IBM today was recognized by CMP Technology’s VARBusiness magazine as one of North America’s top information-technology (IT) vendors in terms of the partnership programs it offers to solution providers that sell its products and services to end users. IBM was certified as a Five-Star Partner, acknowledging its commitment and strength of its programs for IT integrators, resellers and consultants.

Of the 250+ vendor-program entries reviewed for the past year, only 65 companies received the coveted five-star rating in the magazine’s 13th annual Partner Programs Guide issue.

“Nowadays, the structure of vendor channel programs is too often reduced to a checklist of must-have elements. The VARBusiness 5-Star Partner Program honor recognizes those select vendors, like IBM, who have the programmatic structure to best serve their solution providers in their specific markets segments and technologies. These programs reflect vendors who have built channel programs that have the capacity to execute on key elements for channel success,” says VARBusiness Editor Lawrence M. Walsh.

IBM’s Ayman Antoun, Vice President, Business Partners, Americas says: “Being recognized by VARBusiness as a Five-Star Partner further underscores IBM’s deep commitment to our Business Partner network and the innovation we bring to our customers through this unique collaboration.”
