More than ever, companies face greater pressure to deliver IT solutions faster and at lower cost, but with the features CxOs want. Agile development and effective software delivery tools can help.
Yet licensing, installing, configuring, and evaluating tools come with risk, time, and capital. As a result, many companies cannot afford the tools and infrastructure they need to effectively respond to business opportunities.
IBM Rational® has three new affordable ways that companies can leverage to gain instant access to standardized development services for effective software delivery.
Our new cloud-based offering for software delivery, dynamic infrastructure with IBM System z®, and software development appliances provide a cost-effective way to:
- Dynamically provision software delivery services on demand
- Automate and standardize the software delivery infrastructure
Customer and market perspectives on new offering services:
- National Business Center (NBC) (PDF, 429.3KB), an IT services organization within the United States Department of the Interior, is using System z as a strategic enterprise platform to deliver cloud computing and hosting services, while advancing innovative business models with lower server acquisition, integration, and management costs.
- At GigaOm, "IBM is making some solid moves to capture the enterprise cloud computing marketplace. Their flexible approach makes enterprise customers comfortable even though the economics are different from what Amazon offers."
