Large Organization trying to Change Course
Pros: In the Software area, IBM Has a multitude of resources and a broad portfolio of capabilities, many market-leading and having resulted from acquisition.  The wealth of technology and talent means that IBM can win large scale deals that niche providers cannot.
Cons: As a very large organization, change and overall execution pace is slow.   The resources and investment put into improving offerings and synergy across the various software acquisitions is moderate to low, focus is much more on just posting sales in the next two quarters.  It results in a largely tactical operating model for many in the sales and delivery organizations.
