The wave of change that IBM first
called ‘on demand’ continues to gain
momentum. Customers ask more of
your company every day, demanding
that your technology infrastructure be

this environment requires an entirely
new approach. In short, it’s never

and your IT infrastructure – to
be flexible.

infrastructure that can change as fast

with your business at your own pace,
