IBM launches ''Express''
18 Nov 2003
Mumbai: IBM India has launched a portfolio of 'Express' offerings and programmes designed and priced specifically for small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers.
The portfolio will consist of new hardware, software, services, solutions and financing all designed to meet specific criteria for SMBs with respect to function, ease of use and management, and price.
The offerings within the new IBM Express portfolio will assist SMBs — companies with between 100 and 1,000 employees that often have fewer IT skills and tighter budgets than larger enterprises — in their transformation to on demand businesses using IBM's open standards-based technology.
Says IBM India managing director Abraham Thomas: "Today's announcement is a big shift for IBM India both internally and externally. IBM has designed the entire portfolio of offerings based on customer and partner feedback across our line of products and services for the SMB marketplace. Today's launch represents a major 'stake in the ground' in IBM India's strategy to lead in the SMB market."
