The problem-solving approach to IT, with its emphasis on services, is the new face of IBM. It’s not exactly new, but the strategy of making this more than a slogan takes time as well as the enthusiastic buy-in of the business partner channel, which has always had a hardware-powered business model since the dawn of enterprise computing. I hear a lot of people mumbling that it takes hardware to run software, but business solutions are more closely associated with skills. Skills matter more than the speeds and feeds of any system. On one level the system is a commodity. |
