Ideally (for us), IBM would be in the business of helping its existing customers. But getting new customers and positioning itself for the long term are important too. Technical requirements should also be prioritized to fit in with the strategies IBM has for its future. I'm not privy to IBM's strategic directions, but it seems likely that IBM will want to leverage its current strengths as it builds a structure which contains future customer wants. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
