"Consumable" products are products that have the right design, installation, configuration, fundamental quality, information, integration, maintenance, and upgrade. Highly consumable products enable you to achieve fast time to value, to get your solutions up and running quickly on IBM products, and to deal simply and effectively with product maintenance throughout the product life cycle.
Highlights
Making even more improvements!
Our efforts to improve product consumability have really taken off! By the end of September 2010, product teams had identified more than 2000 individual improvements in areas such as installation, configuration, and interoperability. More than 1200 of these improvements are already available to you! Help us identify more areas for improvement and provide more business value through our products!
