Overview

Today, IBM® announces price changes on selected part numbers for Software.

The new prices will be effective on 2022-09-01.

BP Announcement Letter: 522-405

IBM is making changes to its Passport Advantage benefits by removing the entitled discounts for a select number of products traditionally deployed on-premises. Entitled discounts will remain unchanged for our on-premise hybrid, and multi-cloud platforms where we will continue to focus our investment and innovation. Your company will still be able to earn points on the offerings no longer eligible for discounts. For new purchases, your company will enjoy longer term benefits and entitled discounts when adopting IBM’s equivalent cloud and hybrid-based offerings.

Based on these changes to entitled discounts, it is recommended that your company evaluate and plan a transition to the equivalent, cloud- and/or hybrid cloud-based offering.

Please consult with your local IBM Sales representative or IBM Business partner to and make any recommended changes to your portfolio of IBM offerings accordingly.
