Research Objectives
In late 2002, IBM Corp. announced two new business lines to focus on segments of the $1.3 trillion IT industry where it believes profits will grow fastest. For almost a decade now, IBM has pursued services and software as lucrative and growing industry segments. In addition, IBM wants to capitalize on its proprietary hardware technologies, research and patent portfolio as an additional growth area for the company.
IBM Big Picture: Historical View
Our report starts with a historical overview of IBM's profitable and unprofitable business segments over the past 10 years. Where IBM Global Services (IGS) was ten years ago may give clues to how the new service units might fare in the coming years.
Part 1: IBM Engineering & Technology Services
This new service unit was formed to help restore profitability to IBM Microelectronics by bringing the IGS model to the OEM business. The division has solid technology underpinnings backed by a strong patent portfolio.
Part 2: IBM On-Demand Services and IT Platforms
In January 2003, IBM began deployment of a group of commercial platforms that deliver IT infrastructure capabilities and industry-specific business processes on-demand, over the Internet, just like utilities deliver electricity or telephone service today. IBM's strategy ties together software integration, Web services, autonomic computing, grid computing and IBM's newly acquired (from PriceWaterhouse Coopers) business consulting capability.
