IBM preproduction approvals
Following the Solution Kickoff Meeting, the EF Specialist will request internal pre-approval to proceed with implementing the solution in the IBMid Preproduction environment from IBMid Executive Management.
IBMid Executive Management will verify the following:
- Are the EF Business Owner and EF Technical Owner the appropriate contacts to manage the EF partner’s federation relationship with IBM?
- Does the integration conform with IBMid EF policies?
- Are there any issues of concern which need to be addressed?
- Is the proposed integration technically viable?
- Does the proposed integration meet IBMid technical criteria?
- Are there any unusual aspects of the integration which need to be addressed?
- Does the EF partner have full ownership and control of the requested domains?
Note:
- IBMid Preproduction
- This process provides IBM an opportunity to identify and address any issues early and should not be interpreted as an approval to proceed to IBMid Production Integration and Testing.
- IBMid Production
