Strategy
Well-articulated brands serve business. Defining our IBM Developer brand helps unify us behind a uniquely differentiated experience. This unity helps us express an opinionated position externally and allows us to make cohesive, progressive decisions internally.
Designed to build deeper relationships.
IBM Developer is a strategic sub-brand within the IBM brand ecosystem, designed to build deeper relationships among the growing international enterprise developer community and IBM. Relationships with developers around the world are the ultimate deliverable of the brand and a key measurement of our overall success.
Build Smart. Build Secure.
The IBM Developer brand promise statement builds upon our overall IBM brand platform—
IBM is inclusive of all code creatives—
Communications focus on access, acceleration and ability.
These attributes are the primary pillars or positioning we want represented and reinforced in all IBM Developer communications and experiences.

With IBM, you have access to leaders in technology who can provide you with the essential skills and tools to build applications for the enterprise.

You can easily get started coding with these resources available in popular code repositories, and with SDKs for popular languages and deployment environments.
