Augment your capabilities where needed or let IBM manage some or all of your IT for you.

If you're like most CIOs and IT managers, you are getting used to delivering more to your clients while reducing costs. Today's economy makes it even more difficult. Improving your staff productivity or augmenting your capabilities with cost-saving solutions may be the answer to some of the challenges.

For example:

"A UK bookseller worked with IBM to renegotiate and rewrite their maintenance contract to cover their entire computing environment, including multi-vendor hardware and software. Support is now available 24x7 with 2-hour emergency response. IBM monitors the entire infrastructure from a UK data center and often resolves problems remotely. IBM improved service levels and lowered contract costs. The savings have been redirected to business expansion efforts."

"One of the top hospitals in the United States reduced in-house security costs by up to 55% when it engaged IBM Internet Security Systems to perform network security monitoring and management."
