I was at Connect before Christmas, the annual Software Group meetup for industry analysts that follow IBM. See some coverage here by Coté. IBM’s Software portfolio is insanely big these days, so its hard to know where to start. But some interesting things are afoot. As Cote says: “When it comes to pulling in innovation […]

Pace Layering in Software: WebSphere Feature Packs vs Major Releases

By James Governor on November 22, 2010

One of the biggest challenges for any software organisation is how and when to deliver new functionality. Customers demand new features, yet they also don’t want to do anything to affect the stability of existing applications and services.

It was hard to decide where to look first in Las Vegas this year at IBM’s flagship information management event. Coming as it did on the heels of a massive, sprawling Oracle Open World, it was also overwhelming, but distinguished itself immediately by its focus.

By Merv Adrian on July 12, 2010

IBM employs 45,000 software engineers worldwide, and like all large firms, has been greatly expanding its overseas contingent, leading some in the US to complain that not enough is being done “back home.” In mid-June, IBM provided an answer with the opening of a new lab facility in the Boston suburb of Littleton, Massachusetts, one […]

IBM Impact 2010: Happy Partners and Cloud Certifications

By James Governor on May 12, 2010

Last week I was at IBM’s Impact 2010 – which used to be the company’s show for WebSphere customers but is now being rebranded as the “premier conference for business and IT leaders”.
