@bh the reason partners are used has nothing to do with skill. IBM doesnt want to hire more people and partners get the work.
@cs you should leave.
@bd can you point to any success that they have had? Not the bullsh-t hype they tell us - actual ROI that justifies their existence? Actual money they generated (revenue) for IBM?

@bd I hate all of IBM, including Expert Labs and Tech Sales.
