IBM on Cloud Expert Integrated Systems
IBM’s sprawling Research Triangle Park campus was the hub for the technology giant’s four-year, $2 billion effort to simplify corporate information technology systems.
Corporate IT systems have become so complicated, according to IBM, that many companies spend 70 percent or more of their IT operations on operating and maintaining what they have in place. Consequently, they are limited in how much they can invest on innovation. IBM is one of the Triangle’s largest employers with an estimated 10,000 workers. The company itself doesn’t disclose employee numbers at individual sites.
