Two things you did not know about IBM: More than 200.000 from its employees are in the Netherlands, and is the third largest software vendor in the world.
Okay, the first element is not exactly that. These 200.000 employees in the Netherlands are only on paper - it's a perfectly legal tax trick. But the second element is right, says Forrester Research analyst Andrew Bartels.
Μέχρι το επόμενο έτος, οι επιχειρηματικές εφαρμογές της IBM θα αξίζουν περίπου 8 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια, πίσω από την SAP και την Oracle και μπροστά από τη Microsoft, με εξαίρεση τις πωλήσεις του Office. "IBM just doesn't want to talk about business because they don't want to make their partners feel uncomfortable," Bartels says.
On Monday, IBM launched a campaign to overhaul the company's work and transform it into the cloud, investing $1 billion in new possibilities cloud. This effort includes placing the software portfolio in the cloud.
