It seems at least two of the MBB have worked on that problem for IBM for many many cases. Let me save you some consulting fees.

no need to fat sham yall
@sc1 It was a smart move at the time, esp with the bargain basement price they got, but now all the smart ppl have left and they've turned GBS into a SW sales channel that's burned up most of the credibility with clients, and does very little true consulting anymore.
Well. I have an idea that should do that trick. But since u specifically called out to MBBers ...
D1 It helped GBS grow its business. Was a good decision IMO.
Not just revenue; needs a bit of an overhaul
Buy one of the MBB firms.
I'd start by ceasing to try and compete in a commodity market (cloud). Why on earth chase AMZN and GOOG to the bottom on pricing?
Next stop setting completely unrealistic expectations on Watson that has made a decent technology the laughing stock of every industry event I've been at, since IBM presents it as a fully sentient being and it's really a set of decent analytics and machine learning tools.
And yes, send Ginny packing. Should have been done 3 years ago.
... you do know one of the mbb does our Corp strategy right?
There's a ton of fat to cut at IBM... a TON. You guys are in spaces you shouldn't be, it's like there's an identity crisis
P1 Agree! They need a new CEO and Microsoft is the supporting case as Nadella previously being the head of Infra made cloud computing the top priority. Today Azure is the fastest growing unit within the firm. IBM has its bets in the right place but need a new internal CEO to lead the way.
@sc1 that worked out so well when they bought PwC MCS (management consulting services).
D1 Agree! Now it is a completely different story.
I don't get IBM marketing. Instead of highlighting product features always some random dude or Winona Ryder in airport.
Yeah, I think MBB is all over there already. Hard ship to turn around
