IBM Cloud

Deal Registration is coming to IBM Cloud starting April 6, 2026

As announced in the IBM Partner Plus Program Guide, Deal Registration (DR) will be introduced across the IBM Cloud Ecosystem starting 6 April, giving IBM Business Partners a new way to protect the opportunities they develop.

With Deal Registration, only the first IBM Reseller to register and receive an approved DR for an opportunity is eligible to request Special Bid (SB) discounted pricing. This ensures that the time and investment put into building customer relationships are recognized and protected. Resellers without an approved DR for the opportunity will have access to list pricing only.

Please note:
• The compensation model for IBM Cloud offerings remains unchanged (Part Numbers remain ineligible for IBM Partner Plus incentives).
• The standard Deal Registration Review process will be applied when multiple Resellers compete for the same opportunity.
• Standard Sales Documentation is required to qualify for DR.

Register early, engage deeply, and unlock the full value of your IBM Cloud opportunities.

Start using Deal Registration to secure your opportunities, access Special Bid discounts, and increase your win potential!
The Deal Registration Group is BSP345-Public Cloud
The link will take you to the Deal Registration Guide for assistance. Please reach out to your TD SYNNEX Rep for any questions.

AI Recommended Pricing

AI Recommended Price is a pricing model applicable for IBM ISS (Logo) TLS offering
component line items which are newly added to a customer Agreement.
The AI Recommended Price model is designed to calculate market competitive net prices for New & Upsell TLS component line items on Conga quotes, thereby reducing workload for sellers, reducing the need for special bid requests, and speeding up bid cycle time.


READ MORE

 

Expert Care Renewal Prices

The Expert Care price for a renewal in Conga is based on three factors: the associated current hardware list price; an Expert Care renewal percentage of hardware; and the price discount the client received for the purchase of the hardware at the point of sale.
The Expert Care renewal percentage of hardware may be different by Expert Care offering and Country based on product specific factors which may be updated periodically. Please see attached FAQ for further information.

Quote Validity and Late Renewal Price Uplift

IBM has implemented a 3% renewal price uplift for any late renewal opportunities. Time is of the essence to get renewals in before the expiration date to avoid this uplift and capitalize on the on-time renewal rebate. Please contact Kimberly Guerrero at kimberly.guerrero@tdsynnex.com to discuss rebate structure.

Last Price Paid for Renewals

Last Price Paid (LPP) is a pricing model applicable for IBM ISS (Logo) TLS offering component line items which are up for renewal on an existing customer Agreement.
The LPP model is designed specifically for customer renewals which often contain a mix of customer support offerings from IBM’s broad portfolio. By standardizing annual renewal price increases, IBM intends renewal prices will be more predictable and explainable, resulting in faster renewal cycle times; fewer special bid requests; and a simplified bid approval process.
