The IBM playbook library.

The IBM shelf.

The IBM white paper shelf is the largest independent body of long form IBM and Red Hat licensing playbooks available to the buyer side. Every title is written by partners who came from inside the publisher and now sit on your side of the table. Every paper is built around a real client commercial event, with the discount memos, entitlement schemas, and contract levers that the publisher account team is not incentivised to surface.

The library covers IBM ELA renewal, audit defense, ILMT and BigFix Inventory operating cadence, PVU and VPC economics, sub capacity rules, the Cloud Pak bundle family, Db2 and MQ renewal, WebSphere modernisation, Red Hat OpenShift and RHEL subscription tiers, and the cross product moves that protect leverage at renewal.

The IBM practice at Redress Compliance covers the full IBM and Red Hat estate. Db2, MQ, WebSphere, Cognos, the mainframe stack, Cloud Pak product family, OpenShift, RHEL, and Ansible. Every paper, every case study, and every article in this library has been written from a real enterprise engagement, where the publisher account team sat on one side of the table and our practice sat on the other.

Use the search to find a specific paper, case study, or article. Open the IBM knowledge hub for the topical view, the IBM Practice page for the engagement model, and the IBM Audit Defense Guide for the canonical buyer side framework. Read the main white paper library, the case study library, and the editorial library for the cross vendor view.
