This course provides Business Partners information about Lotus Foundations Start to help them identify prospects and successfully present IBM Lotus Foundations as a solution. The IBM Lotus Foundations software appliance provides the essential software that small businesses with limited or no technical resources need to run their business. Lotus Foundations Start gives IBM business partners access to a large market which currently has limited IT alternatives. Partners can increase their customer base by selling Lotus Foundations into this rapidly growing SMB market and by providing value-add services including network consulting, design, installation, and administration services. Partners can also develop and integrate their business applications onto the Lotus Foundations platform to address the market need for business-centric solutions.

Create a Test Environment with VMWare
We hope that you are already using Lotus Foundations Start. However, you may create a virtual environment using VMWare (not for production, but good for ad-hoc testing and learning). You will need to have VMWare (licensed product) to do this. Here are videos to get you started for installation and setup.
