Times have changed. Global integration is putting a strain on organizations to innovate faster to maintain the edge in the marketplace. How can your organization derive more value and achieve globalization? Take advantage of sophisticated centers of competency, establish a global delivery model with a full range of remote capabilities and high value industry expertise, build capabilities ahead of demand to drive growth, and reuse delivery assets managed by high-quality/low-cost offering delivery teams.
IBM's global delivery of business and IT services has gone far beyond application development sourced on a project basis.
