Reduce costs! Purchase the IBM Value Package, an optional fee-based set of benefits that will help you attain the skills necessary for the IBM Software Value Plus initiative. The benefits include:
Access to IBM software. The IBM software can be used for demonstration and evaluation, development and testing, internal training and limited internal use, called "Run Your Business."
Education reimbursement through the You Pass, We Pay and You Test, We Pay offers. This benefit will help offset the costs incurred for taking eligible classes and tests when you achieve an IBM technical certification.
Technical support for presales and predeployment situations.
Software ValueNet benefits (for authorized Business Partners): access to software, support, and restricted web content for the approved Software ValueNet portfolio(s). The software may not be used for 'Run Your Business' purposes.
The Value Package is offered at an initial fee of $2,000 US. The annual renewal cost is $1800 US if the subscription is renewed before it expires. Business Partners who purchase the Value Package in their first six months of membership will be charged a special introductory rate of $1800 US.
