Sales Operations
Pros: Heritage brand that certainly opens doors. IBM is made up of high integrity, intelligent professionals and boasts an incredible array of offerings which are being made even more powerful with the addition of Watson cognitive intelligence.
Cons: IBM can't get out of its own way from an internal operations standpoint.  Too many disparate systems, which in and of themselves are hugely inefficient and make it difficult to navigate quickly and effectively to progress simple tasks, much less the sale.  IBM forges ahead with what they think are great ideas - both from an internal operations standpoint and product development - but they don't involve and ask the right stakeholders before moving forward, often missing the mark because they made the wrong assumptions.
