Partnership development and alliances
Being accessible makes good business sense — it can help your clients gain a competitive advantage in growing markets, increase revenue and retain employees. The IBM Human Ability and Accessibility Center works with IBM Business Partners to actively market and sell accessibility solutions. Working together, we're able to provide complementary skills and expertise that can result in greater client value. In addition to leveraging IBM, you can leverage other IBM Business Partners — broadening your delivery and solutions portfolio.
The Human Ability and Accessibility Center is actively looking for partners to:
- Incorporate IBM's accessibility technology into partner solutions
- License and sell IBM accessibility solutions
- Identify opportunities in the accessibility space for you and IBM to pursue
- Deliver accessible solutions in IBM engagements
