| schestowitz[TR2] | I was at IBM during the Gerstner and Palmisano tenures. Gerstner's problems were different from AK's problems in that Gerstner had a lot of "potential" in the company, but he had way too much bloat. Too many mainframe "administrators", too many mainframes, too many raised floors, too many data centers. Every city with an IBM sales office or plant site (hundreds of them) had all that stuff and all those people, and it was bringing d | Dec 21 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | own the company. For a time, IBM was the biggest user of AT&T's international network. Gerstner RA'd a lot of those people and turned "IBM Services" into a real business. | Dec 21 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | AK's problem is different. IBM has returned to the bloat of the 1990s, but the company has been largely sold off. Services has already been monetized, but much of services along with other lines of business were also sold off. Mainframes and big servers are all IBM has left, and the "big server" (POWER) line may not last much longer. Stuff like AI and Quantum may be fruitful someday, but they are nothing more than lab experiments f | Dec 21 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or now...and even worse, they are lab experiments where IBM's presence is questionable at best. | Dec 21 05:17 |
