Pre-installation Support

A.Pre-sales Technical Support

Further assistance is available to assist in overall marketing activities through Partner Line. When
called, the first step will be the Business Partner entitlement. Partner Line for non-entitled Business
Partners will also send the information that will enable the Business Partner to gain access. Advanced
and Premiere level IBM Business Partners are eligible for Partner Line. (Member level IBM Business
Partners gain pre-sales support via their distributor.) Once access is made, Business Partners can
interact with a specialist from Techline Sales Support for RS/6000s, AIX, or Lotus Domino (and they
should ask specifically for the e-business Team for Domino) or Business Partners can access Compete
Line for information about non-IBM offerings. (There are other aspects of Partner Line which are not to
be discussed here such as order tracking, payment tracking, etc.) BESTeam® members have automatic
access to Partner Line.

B.Education

Technical education is available to enable personnel who will be responsible for the implementation and
administration of AIX and Domino installation.
