IBM WW has changed the process for BP to switch preferred distributor.
VAD alignment is now managed via PPS (PartnerWorld Profiling System). This is effective from 2Q 2016.
Changes must be made one month before quarter close to be effective in PGI in the following quarter. For example: Request in PPS before 1st March 2016 to be effective in PGI 2Q 2016. Request in PPS before 1st June 2016 to be effective in PGI 3Q2016.
This process applies to Specialty Elite, Specialty and PGI partners.
Steps and links for sharing with BPs:
See the email at the bottom. BP comms will include a YouTube video on how they can change and check their aligned VAD in PPS.
Any queries feel free to let me know naka.
