SWAN will be your email answer place for all your software questions, according to this:

Get your software, pre-sales questions answered on SWAN, the IBM Software Answer Network. You can ask sales, strategy and technical questions. When you submit the question, SWAN automatically routes it to one of our 1,200 IBM Software Group experts. Once the question is answered, you are promptly notified by e-mail.

The IBM tool that provides simple search against a wide variety of published technical resources across over 70 data sources is known as Business Partner Q&A (BPQA)


Now, I tried to log in and you do need an IBM id first.  You are directed to the BPQA (Business Partner Q&A) first.  You must search first befire you can submit any question, which actually make sense.  Acronym lookups are available to help in understanding what you are searching for or what they are requiring. Here is a sample screenshot of the Q&A busy busy page.
