The Business Case For i. Series & Web. Sphere There has to be a "win-win" proposition to get Business Partners and/or customers to agree to invest in new technologies i. Series BP's and customers will NOT invest in technology for technologies sake! Four important questions: 1. Are these technologies important today and in the future? 2. What business benefits are delivered with these technologies? 3. Will new solutions leveraging these technologies have a good ROI 4. Will IBM help Business Partners and customers market & implement these solutions? ibm. com/redbooks © Copyright IBM Corp. 2004. All rights reserved.

The information is presented here to communicate IBM's current investment and development activities as a good faith effort to help with our customers' future planning. Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput or performance improvements equivalent to the ratios stated here. Photographs shown are of engineering prototypes.
