IBM Partnerworld is closing Connections communities?
Tags :IBM Partnerworld
Call me crazy here but why would IBM PartnerWorld move communication from it's own platform into channels it does not own when they have a platform?
PartnerWorld Community Members,By year end, the Connections based PartnerWorld Communities experience will cease. Therefore, please join us on our IBM PartnerWorld official social media channels to collaborate and converse. You will find the topics that have been included in the IBM PartnerWorld Communities and more!
IBM PartnerWorld Social Media Accounts:
PartnerWorld WebsiteWe moderate all of the platforms and look forward to our continued conversations.

This announcement came straight from this IBM Connections community for PartnerWorld with over 3200 people. I sent an email asking some basic questions and also where all the files that are in the community will go. I will update with an answer.
So before I published I got an answer. I see that some items will be going to Connections Cloud while others is left open to the owner
Hi Chris,
Thank you for reaching out. Yes, this applies to all external Connections communities. However, many external Connections communities will be migrated to a different platform called Connections Cloud, which is very similar to IBM Connections.
As for the PartnerWorld communities, the owners of each subcommunity will determine what they would like to do with their community.
They can:
1. Migrate their community to Connections Cloud
2. Promote their community solely through the IBM PartnerWorld social media accounts
3. Discontinue community ownership
If they choose options #2 or #3, they will need to find a convenient way to store files for their Business Partners.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions
Do you think that they can serve the need using only public social platforms not owned by IBM?
