IBM introduced its IBM Champion program back in 2008 and has continued to recognize innovative thought leaders in the technical community that are helping others derive greater value from IBM software, solutions and services.

This year, one of the professionals being honored is Perficient’s Eric Walk a director of knowledge, data and content.

What Makes an IBM Champion?

IBM Champions are experts and thought leaders around IBM products, offerings, and technology. And they are driven to share their knowledge and expertise to help others. IBM Champions are often answering questions, creating content, running user groups and events, and helping others in the community to better understand the possibilities their investment in IBM offerings brings.

Candidates are entered into a nomination process every year and top contributors are selected and welcomed into the program.

Qualifications include:

Evangelizes and advocates for IBM
Shares knowledge and expertise
Helps grow and nurture the community
Expands reach across the IBM portfolio
Provides feedback on IBM products and direction

Meet Your Perficient 2022 IBM Champion

We know we have great thought leaders here at Perficient, but we’re always proud when our experts are recognized by others for the work they’re doing in the community. And Eric Walk is no exception.

He has worked closely with our partner IBM for many years and is honored to be named an IBM Champion this year.

“Over the last 11 years, I’ve been working closely with IBMers and IBM technologies to solve our client’s problems and improve their information management and business processes,” Walk said. “Being an IBM Champion is not just recognition of my work to support various IBM product teams with feedback and go-to-market approach, but also the hard work across the whole Perficient family continuing to support and deploy IBM’s market leading solutions.”

For him, this is a great opportunity to grow his reach as a thought leader and to learn from the other Champions and the broader IBM Community.
