Where Can I get Data to Create Sizing Guides?
What Support is Available from IBM for Sizing Guide Developers?
Your company probably has the necessary information in some form already.
What hardware configuration advice do you currently provide? Data sources
may include one or more of the following:
IBM wants your Sizing Guides to be a valuable asset to your company, your
resellers and your customers. To help achieve this, we provide you with expert
assistance for either the Fast-Path or the Toolkit process. If you choose
the Fast-Path Questionnaire process, IBM does much of the Sizing Guide
development work for you, but time for any changes to your Sizing Guide is
limited. If you choose the Toolkit process, you control the environment so you
can make as many changes as you like. You and IBM share the effort to build
your initial Sizing Guide, with IBM providing expert assistance and Q&A
support. The Sizing Guide team typically spends about three days of time
supporting either a Fast-Path or a Custom Sizing Guide effort, assuming the
application team is prepared.
