Early Adopters and IBM

Building on leading IBM solutions, ISV partners will be able to establish a strong leadership position for themselves with early market entry of their autonomic solutions. Through the entire life cycle of the technology, early adopting ISVs can build a strong customer base and establish solid reputations as pioneers in the field.

Working with IBM, early adopter ISVs will help define industry standards, as well as gain early access to the technology. Through the PartnerWorld for Developers program, ISV members will have codevelopment and comarketing opportunities, technical support, application testing, and validation at IBM Solution Partnership Centers, as well as intensive Web-based, self-guided education offerings.

ISVs that have existing applications with autonomic products qualify for unique program offerings, like Ready for Tivoli. Ready for Tivoli is the official program through which selected Business Partner products are designed, tested, and validated for seamless integration with Tivoli solutions.
