by Alex Woodie
It was both an unusual word to be heard and an unusual emotion to be felt at a gathering of IBM and its business partners.

PartnerWorld 2004: Sam Plays It Again
by Dan Burger
You could say it was back by popular demand. After all, IBM has been promoting the on-demand concept for more than two years, and now it wants to make money from it, just as it did with e-business.
