Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

With 356,000 employees and $24.1 billion in 2006 infrastructure revenue, IBM is the "curve breaker" for size in this study. IBM's strength in its current offering puts it in a solid leadership position, and the company tied with EDS for market presence in the infrastructure space; however, lower reference client scores kept it from a higher overall ranking. One of IBM's key points of differentiation is its massive global footprint with 40 global delivery centers and 70 regional sites. Process maturity is also a hallmark of the IBM offering. IBMers helped "write the book" on ITIL standards, and the firm has a collection of standard tools, processes, and requirements — called the Global Solution Architecture Repository — that helps "industrialize" transformation activities.
