Business Partners

The channel has changed.

Software Value Plus - formerly known as Growth Through Skills - Has given Business Partners a challenge to provide more value to customers through higher technical and sales skills. Many Partners have selected their niche and have certified in those areas of expertise. However, your customers don't always stay in your product groups.

If you have customers with software needs outside of your certified product groups, let us help!

Partnerships only work when there is equity on both sides. PreferredPartner has been successfully partnering with IBM Business Partners since 2000. Partnering is what we do best. (Its even in our name.) Our focus is on providing software solutions to customers. Our partnering approach will provide your customers with the software they need, and the peace of mind you need knowing your customer is protected through a "friendly" Partner.

For Influencers who'd like to offer software services, but don't want the issues with licensing and Software Value Plus (that's why you are an Influencer), PreferredPartner can offer software licensing services to your customers.
