IBM IASP Program
The IBM Authorized SAM Provider (IASP) Program helps organizations efficiently manage IBM software assets. By partnering with an Authorized SAM Provider, participants can oversee software usage, ensure compliance, optimize investments, and completely avoid license audits.
See how you can get the IBM software benefits without the audit headache.
How does it work?
What if you could get all the IBM with none of the audit headache? Enter IASP + Anglepoint.
Apply
Ideally, a candidate for IASP is a large, dynamic, and complex organization with multiple sites and sub-entities as part of a larger business portfolio.
Qualify
The program is currently by ‘invitation-only’ which just means that IBM must qualify all candidates for IASP. Your application will be reviewed by IBM to determine if your organization meets the requirements.
Choose a Partner
Once you’ve been approved, you can use one of IBM’s four global SAM providers (that’s us) to start maximizing the value of your IBM contract and avoid audits.
