I believe we handled the deployment in-house.

The implementation and configuration were assisted by the IBM partners . We had two IBM partners assist us; the second was very helpful and resolved most of our issues quickly (this was not a case with first IBM partner).

We had several issues after implementation and took four months to stabilize the products and it was not fun. I would recommend not to do the implementation by yourself. When there are issues the product is quite complex.Architecture is complex and not easy to set up properly.

I help my clients with the installation. However, there is the application server and the database server, and all those parts need expertise, which I don't have. 

I know enough about the solution to handle most of it and IBM gives scripts so that you can install it easily. Also, IBM has support on offer when a customer buys a license. If the client struggles with part of the installation, maintenance and support can help him with the installation as well. I'm only there to support my customer and ask the right questions. 

It was done in-house.
