How <strong>Syba<strong>se</strong></strong>, <strong>SAP</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>IBM</strong> have Teamed<br />
to Reshape <strong>IT</strong> <strong>Economics</strong><br />
In recent years, technology industry consolidation has considerably narrowed the choices for enterpri<strong>se</strong>grade<br />
<strong>IT</strong> infrastructure.<br />
Relying on a single technology vendor to address all of your needs — both hardware <strong>and</strong> software —<br />
introduces many challenges <strong>and</strong> risks, including:<br />
• Lock-in<br />
• Higher costs<br />
• Investment risks<br />
• A “one size fits all” attitude<br />
To avoid the<strong>se</strong> potential complications, most clients have cho<strong>se</strong>n to diversify their <strong>IT</strong> investments. This<br />
strategy makes it possible to <strong>se</strong>lect best-of-breed solutions for the entire range of <strong>IT</strong> infrastructure. To bring<br />
this vision to life, <strong>Syba<strong>se</strong></strong>, <strong>SAP</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>IBM</strong> have worked together to deliver the most open, integrated, <strong>and</strong><br />
optimized solutions. First, <strong>SAP</strong> is the world’s leading provider of enterpri<strong>se</strong> applications. Secondly, <strong>Syba<strong>se</strong></strong> is an<br />
industry leader in enterpri<strong>se</strong> <strong>and</strong> mobile software for managing information. Finally, <strong>IBM</strong> Power Systems <strong>se</strong>t the<br />
records in more than 70 real world-oriented test results, <strong>and</strong> now have over 50% share of the UNIX® market.<br />
