关于客户
High Cotton is a leading document outsourcing company that was relying on a mix of legacy equipment including HP servers, third-party storage systems, and they didn’t have any in-house data protection. The company's IT environment was disjointed and was becoming increasingly risky, and costly to maintain and scale. Administering the fragmented environment was a manually intensive and error-prone undertaking involving a number of distinct management systems. Deploying new workloads—allocating compute and storage resources, instituting backup policies, performing restores—could take hours and weeks using the company’s legacy solutions. Even worse, disasters or equipment failures had the potential to impair critical IT services and disrupt business; restoring applications, including VMware Horizon View VDI apps, could take hours or days using the incumbent data protection solutions and methods.

The solution delivers the best of both worlds: x86 cloud economics and enterprise capabilities including data efficiency, performance, data protection and global unified management.

Engine Informática offers SAP software as a service with IBM
Engine Informática, a Brazil-based company specializing in the implementation of SAP ERP solutions, identified a gap in the market for small and medium-sized companies. The company realized that the fixed infrastructure investment needed to run SAP 24/7, such as data centers, hardware, and support, meant that the per-user cost could be perceived as too high for smaller companies. The challenge was to reduce or eliminate the capital expenditures and implementation costs as much as possible to help reduce the barriers to entry for these smaller companies.

IBM social business software connects and empowers employees for competitive advantage
Superior Group, a company providing workforce productivity solutions, found that its employees worldwide felt disconnected from headquarters, regional offices and each other due to outdated internal communication and collaboration tools. The company's intranet had become a top-down affair with little staff involvement, and employees lacked effective tools for anywhere/anytime communications. Those working remotely had limited access to co-workers and company apps. The main method of collaboration was inefficient email, challenging IT staff to manage a growing store of attachments. These factors inhibited the company from achieving its productivity goals.
