IBM 2013 Flying-Start Business Partner Briefing
Save the date of Wednesday, 30 January 2013 for the IBM Flying-Start Business Partner briefing, at 15 Hatfields, London. This afternoon event, hosted by Richard Potts (VP IBM Business Partner Organisation and Midmarket UKI), will position the priorities for the year, and give access to the senior Channel Management team. This will be followed by networking and drinks.
The briefing will focus on ‘data', how we manage, secure, store, manipulate and use it to generate leads, close business and keep contacts fresh and relevant to give clarity in approach and a cutting edge on competitors. The presentations will position IBM's solutions, principles and practice to these scenarios, and proposals to develop them together. |
