As long as there are new certifications, older ones will be withdrawn. IBM recently informed candidates about the retirement of IBM Certified Solution Designer – IBM Content Collector (ICC). It will cease to exist on May 31, 2016. IBM suggests that you take notice of the most recent certifications.
IBM Certified Solution Designer – Content Collector V4.0 (IBM Domino).
And
IBM Certified Solution Designer – Content Collector V4.0 (Microsoft Exchange).
We remind you that the exam to retire certifies that the candidate has the knowledge and skills necessary for designing an IBM Content Collector-based archiving solution.
These skills and knowledge are required before you can prepare for the IBM certification.
