| Companies today are faced with the increasing need to integrate business processes, data, applications and people to grow their business in order to stay competitive while meeting the changing demand of the marketplace. This On Demand Business environment requires extended business value nets including partners, suppliers and customers enabled by collaborative processing. |
|
| We understand that to achieve these possibilities, the infrastructure must evolve. We've been at the forefront of this evolution for years - driving characteristics like integration, virtualisation and open standards into our IBM eServer and IBM TotalStorage offerings. With the announcement of the IBM Systems Agenda we're embracing a systems approach that supports the evolution from online to On Demand Business. The resulting benefits can include:
- Enabling innovation across the company and the business value chain
- Simplifying the complexity of today's IT environments and reducing uncertainty around systems security and availability
- Improving the economics of IT dramatically
|
|
|
| Our Agenda includes a strategic commitment to offer systems around selected core design principles to accelerate the move toward collaborative processing while continuing to provide world class levels of transaction processing. Over the next five years, the IBM Systems Agenda will be designed to help our clients: |
|

Virtualise Everything. IT systems management is often the largest and fastest-growing IT cost component as infrastructures grow ever more complex. IBM can help reduce complexity by extending virtualisation to all parts of your infrastructure. The power of virtualisation can help you build a highly secure, highly available family of systems for accessing enterprise applications, data and business processes. The core concept of this simplification strategy is to extend virtualisation to all parts of the infrastructure to define and discover relationships between users, resources, applications and networks - a key ingredient for collaborative processing.
|
|
|  | |
Commit to Openness. Openness implies not only standards, but an inclusive approach to extending and improving them. Open standards mean flexibility and increased possibilities while helping to protect current investments. By building on this philosophy, we can offer a choice of systems built on technology innovation that fit within any IT environment - from highly integrated systems to "smart" components that integrate into an existing structure.

Collaborate to Innovate. IBM can help your organisation attain the leading edge of collaboration — where strangers across the world can become allies in solving problems in a media-rich, interactive and an untethered environment. We believe in greater collaborative processing between customers and their partners, and that collaborating with our clients in the industry will bring dramatic improvements in technology innovation. IBM also engages in collaboration with our skills as well as our technology. And through IBM Engineering and Technology Services (E&TS), IBM provides top-tier engineering services to help integrate and embed technology into unique solutions.
