Top 5 motivations to advocate for IBM technologies

By omar abdelrahman posted 8 days ago

  

Here are the top five reasons I advocate for IBM technologies:

  1. Real business impact: IBM tools—whether Maximo, watsonx, or Cloud Pak—solve messy, high-stakes problems at scale. Championing them means helping teams cut downtime, tighten compliance, and move faster.

  2. Continuous learning: The IBM ecosystem evolves quickly. Advocating pushes you to master new capabilities, patterns, and architectures—and to turn that knowledge into repeatable best practices.

  3. Credibility and career growth: Sharing wins, demos, and lessons learned builds thought leadership. It opens doors to speak, publish, mentor, and be recognized (think: user groups and advocacy programs).

  4. Community and network: IBM’s global community is generous and pragmatic. By contributing code snippets, templates, and playbooks, you both learn from and accelerate others.

  5. Influence on the roadmap: Active advocates provide field feedback that shapes products. When you surface real user pain, you help IBM prioritize features that matter.

Bottom line: advocacy multiplies your impact—on clients, peers, and your own career.

Thats mine, waiting to hear yours
