  • High availability of the application hosted in IBM cloud with network resources helped in keeping the applications up and running with 100% uptime.
  • Even though it came with minimum 12 months registration, the overall cost for the infrastructure was at least 15% lesser than Azure, the predecessor for hosting our applications.

  • The positive impact is that decisions were made to use the software for specific processes, and now those have all been established and are working.
  • The amount of time and expense involved in migrating to the system and developing from scratch to work with the system has been excessive and unwelcome.
  • Support is spotty. The price is premium but the support is primarily provided by subcontractors whose main loyalty is towards IBM and not the end users and clients.

  • We have had a return on investment of 30%.
  • There have also been 80% fewer application crashes due to a lack of resources that previously ran on the X86 platform.
  • Administration management has been simplified and staff can dedicate themselves to the development of applications, instead of providing support to users when the applications do not respond efficiently, this made staff 45% more productive.
