Hello, I'm Rich Hume. As your business partner, IBM is very committed to your success. We want to help you grow in new and exciting directions: for example, in the mid-market and in the emerging markets, and through value nets with our other partners.
We want to help you grow by adding services to software and system sales, and to open up new avenues of opportunity, like the New Enterprise Data Center, which you'll learn about very soon.
Our potential for growth together is absolutely amazing. My mission as general manager is to boost your growth and profitability. Our investment in a wide spectrum of support and resources is an investment in you and in our collaboration.
Much of what we provide in PartnerWorld is meant to help you grow and increase your profitability. We want to help you acquire new skills. We want to increase your cash flow by providing outstanding incentives, and we want you to fully take advantage of the road maps to navigate hot areas within the industry. We're committed to delivering what you need, and we're listening to you.
We're also making it easier to access all of the resources we provide. You may have noticed we've simplified the PartnerWorld home page, and we'll be adding more video content like this to give you fast access and information you need. So, stay tuned.
I'd like to thank you for your commitment to IBM and for teaming with us. When you grow, we grow. When you deliver value to our clients, we all win: you, IBM and most of all, our clients. Thank you for being great partners.
