| schestowitz[TR2] | You need to look no further than IBM’s SW division to see what writing is on the wall for CIO. IBM has abandoned the “not invented here” mantra, and SW division is being shrunk by at least 50% as IBM shops outside for Hybrid solutions. Just look at the last 7 major purchases by IBM. All are outside firms that IBM has bought at a premium, and all are replacing legacy products and personnel. The same is/will happen to CIO. IBM | Sep 09 03:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | can’t afford to wait on CIO to make IBM efficient. They will buy good enough products from existing vendors, and outsource the implementation of these products in the name of efficiency. You may not like that answer, but IBM is all about driving down costs, and buying vs innovating has become the go to play. Every division has adopted a form of “drive costs out of IBM” (Consulting = automate repetitive processes via AI, SW = | Sep 09 03:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | buy vs innovate, infrastructure = partner vs manufacture internally) CIO will be no exception and will adopt what works well for each division into their play book. Driving costs down is job 1 at Armonk right now | Sep 09 03:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | How did you come up with the 187k reduction in space? Is the reduction from their current legacy space, or their future proposed space? Reason I ask is the articles you referenced say IBM just swapped 320k of space from one location (Hines property (IBM was going to take 320k of space from 500k available)) to 320k of space in domain 12 | Sep 09 03:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Either way it certainly looks like IBM has substantially reduced their footprint vs the past 10 year | Sep 09 03:42 |
