Important: Even if you cannot be a resident now, perhaps you could provide or point us to appropriate, already-existing materials as potential input to our development efforts. We would appreciate your help in identifying any useful material that can be expanded, referenced, or included as is. If the material significantly contributes to the produced redbook, we will acknowledge your assistance and may even name the creator as a contributing author. We believe that your help will leverage the value of the already-existing materials and will result in better redbooks produced in shorter cycle times. The ITSO Residency program has been honed over many years to provide the maximum benefit to residents and their businesses. IBM organizations, Business Partners, and customers that have provided residents report that the returning employee has gained significant new skills to enable them to support IBM's latest products. These skills can be employed either directly for services generation or indirectly in technical support of the sales effort. Furthermore, the contacts made by the resident within the development community and with the other residents are invaluable in keeping these skills up-to-date. - - - You received this because you are registered with IBM Redbooks and subscribed for our e-mail service.
