    Most notably, the frontend code has undergone a complete overhaul, making it both reusable and more intuitive. Users can now benefit from experimental privilege separation for the GUI, which enhances overall security by isolating the interface. There is also a new SFTP backup plugin, offering a streamlined approach to data safety.

Now the question is can IBM find a willing partner to share the development, sales, marketing costs of Infrastructure via partnering off their channel/legacy customer set and sharing their technology developments [13:55] schestowitz[TR3] We remain laser-focused on driving efficiency and cost savings by leveraging technology and embedding AI in our workflows, as well as optimizing our supply chain and service delivery. This quarter, we continue to optimize our supply chain by shifting our distributed infrastructure manufacturing to an industry-standard strategic partner. This is the next evolution of our supply chain transformation, as we pivot to a simpler, more ef [13:55] schestowitz[TR3] ficient process, which helps us optimize cash conversion cycles. Through the first half, we generated $4.8 billion of free cash flow, up about $300 million year over year, resulting in our highest first-half free cash flow margin in reported history. ● Jul 24 [16:53] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techbytes [16:55] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techbytes
