Service Level Management White Papers

Economics in the On Demand World

Overview IBM looks at the forces driving change on a global scale. From the rise of IT as a productivity enabler, to a growing economy, to the dangers of worldwide political uncertainty, executives are facing a new set of challenges and opportunities. They're rethinking the structures of their markets and their organizations—retooling for a more demand-driven, competitive world. These changes will result in new enterprise structures and new supply chains, which will form the backbone of the economics in this environment. IBM calls it the on demand world. And we'll show you how you can help keep your competitive edge, no matter what the future brings.
