Return on Investment
IBM
  • Positively, it has generated good initial sales for us and with proper management, the growth of application operations generates more services to manage.
  • Positively, the growth of the operation has also helped the team to update its capabilities in order to grow.
  • The only possible disadvantage is that since the equipment is very reliable and durable, technological change is not easy to make. Clients prefer to grow the equipment while they can rather than make a complete change, but even so, the time comes when all this produces more services.
