Abstract

This Market Note provides IDC's analysis of the recent IBM Analyst Day held in Singapore last August 2019. IBM is able to firmly establish its credentials with its long-term client base with whom it is able to strategically develop new and exciting solutions aligned with the client's business. In this note, IDC explores how IBM should use the recent Red Hat acquisition to expand its footprint out into the small and medium-sized business (SMB) space and build credibility with its existing 1,000 active partners, which only around 45 have relationships with Red Hat.
