IBM is now accepting nominations for the IBM Beacon Awards. Details here: http://www.ibm.com/partnerworld/pwhome.nsf/weblook/2008_awards.html
Nominations are due by January 25, 2008. This award is given to outstanding business partners in a variety of categories. The most relevant category for IBM-MAIN readers is likely "Excellence in the Use of System z for New Workloads or Applications," but there are many other mainframe-relevant categories. Last year, Cornerstone Systems won in the category "Best IBM System z9 Solution" for their excellent work to help CompuCredit deploy their new Installment Loan Application. Some of the other mainframe-relevant winners include NIWS Co., Ltd. (Japan) and Sogeti Group (France) for "Overall Technical Excellence." If you are an Advanced or Premier Business Partner, you can nominate yourself. Your solution should be new or substantially improved in 2007. Judging criteria and other details are available on the Web site. Good luck, everyone. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
