Beacon Awards Nomination Time

Fellow BPs… if you have not heard yet, the time to act is now!

Dear IBM Business Partner,

The IBM Beacon Awards were established more than a dozen years ago to recognize IBM's Business Partners globally for their excellence and innovative solutions based on IBM technology. More than 25 awards will recognize Business Partner achievement across a wide-range of solution areas, including Smarter Computing, Smarter Planet Solutions, Smarter Industries and Technical Excellence.

Beacon Award winners and finalists are an elite group of IBM Business Partners who have delivered unique and innovative solutions that raise the standard for business excellence and customer satisfaction. Winning a Beacon Award puts your firm in the spotlight for industry recognition and on a path to greater opportunity through increased visibility and promotional opportunities.

Past winners have said the awards help create competitive advantage, drive more business and raise their profile in the industry. The IBM Beacon Award is your opportunity to shine the spotlight on your business as a true innovator. I encourage you to nominate your solution(s) for this prestigious award. Nominations must be submitted by November 1, 2011, at 11:59 p.m., US Eastern Daylight Time (New York).
The IBM Beacon Awards are synonymous with excellence and innovation. I hope you'll consider nominating one or more of your most innovative solutions of 2011. Visit PartnerWorld for Beacon Award details and to nominate your solutions.

Regards,

Wilfredo Sotolongo
