Cross Border Certifications for Contract Compliance (CBCCC) Process

Overview Product Test # Requirements

What...
Announcement Letter Number 508-845 (April 29, 2008)
IBM Business Partner enterprises that have eligible Business Partner locations in more than one country throughout the world will soon be able, subject to IBM approval, to meet their product certification requirements by having certified employees located in only one of the countries, or in any combination of the countries, as long as the total number of certifications attained in all countries meets the total number of certifications required for all countries.

  • For example, if one sales certification and one technical certification are required for an IBM product in one country and one sales certification and one technical certification are required for the product in a different country, the two sales certifications and two technical certifications for the product could be located in one of the countries or could be located in any combination of the countries.
This change is intended to enable IBM Business Partner firms to aggregate their IBM certifications in whichever way is most convenient for them and to support their IBM Business Partner operations in multiple countries while remaining responsible to provide the same level of support as would otherwise be required.
