Beta program
The IBM Spectrum Protect Plus beta program gives you a first glance at upcoming product features and a chance to influence design changes. You can test new software in your environment and have a direct voice in the product development process.
The beta program attracts a broad range of participants, including customers, IBM Business Partners, and IBM employees.
The program offers the following benefits:
- Gain access to early code and evaluate new product features and enhancements
- You get access to the beta code before general availability of the product release to determine whether the new features and enhancements are a good fit for your organization. After the code is downloaded, you can run and validate the new software in your environment. You can then identify and resolve any concerns before the code is available, thus saving time and helping to prevent production issues later. When the code becomes available, you are ready to install it and take advantage of the new capabilities.
- Interact with design and development teams
- The product designers, architects, developers, and testers help to plan the beta release and support its participants. These experts can assist you with resolving any issues.
- Become an IBM reference customer
- After your positive beta experience, IBM invites you to participate in the reference program. The IBM marketing team helps you craft a message to let other potential beta testers know about your success in adopting and using early code.
