  • 1.  Access for IBM TechZone

    Hello All ,

    Could anyone help me with how to get access for the resources and environments that are essential for learning and education purposes under the IBM techzone portal. 

    https://techzone.ibm.com/

    I uploaded the issue screen shot.

    My profile currently doesn't have the necessary permissions to explore and benefit from these materials.

    Hi Mohammed,

    IBM Tech Zone is available to Business Partners.

    Business Partners can log in with the IBMid associated with their Partner Plus account. Partners having issues logging into IBM Technology Zone should reach out to their company authorized profile administrators (APA) to have their IBMid associated with their company partner account.

    Is it possible that you have more than one IBMid and you are using the wrong one? If you are using the correct IBMid, then it is likely not correctly associated with your company partner account.

    Cheers,
    Morag

    I agree with Morag. You need to be a BP to access Tech Zone resources. If you need any specific training, there are courses available for the most part.

    I know we need to be a BP but for IBM Champions there must be exceptional provision to get access similar to BP as we advocate IBM products at my workplace.

    We have NOT had this benefit in the past. However, we ARE working to create it as part of the 2025 benefits package - stay tuned for the updated benefits for those who are named 2025 IBM Champions...
