Education and Service Vouchers for Power Systems and IBM i

IBM’s Power Systems servers come with vouchers for free services.

Why? According to Brandon Pederson, Worldwide IBM i Product Marketing Manager, “Vouchers are designed to help you more fully understand and use the advanced features and capabilities of Power Systems.”

For example, a client of ours received two days of free consulting from IBM Lab Services to resolve a knotty CCSID (encoding) problem.

You can use your IBM vouchers for a variety of services, including:

• IBM i or SQL performance
• Availability concerns
• Middleware on IBM i, such as WebSphere and open source
• IBM i database or Db2 Web Query for IBM i
• SAP or application modernization
• Security assessments

You may be entitled to free IBM i education or Lab Services consulting.
To determine what vouchers you may possess, ask your business partner or IBM’s Doug Mack (contact us for his email address).
