Andy Monshaw: Head of Global Small and Medium Sized Businesses
>
It is estimated that in the US alone SMEs will spend more than $49 billion on cloud services in 2015, nearly double the size of the market today.
IBM solutions
will enabled SMEs to deploy a cloud platform quickly and enabled them to interact seamlessly with their ecosystems. In a recent IBM Midmarket survey of 650 CIOs, half are looking to invest in cloud over the next five years, a 50 percent increase in demand for cloud since 2009.
The new solutions also include analytics for SMBs to tackle “Big Data” challenges to help better extract insight and spot trends to make better business decisions and identify new market opportunities. These offerings will combine technologies from IBM’s recent acquisitions. In fact, the survey highlighted analytics as the top priority by more than 83 percent of CIOs. Monshaw is a man who sees the vision who truly believes in the power of the SME and
the need to collaborate with key partners like IBM, “The ability for a company with 5 people to access the same leading edge analytics and predicative analytics that the largest banks and telco’s in the world use in a consumable fashion is huge leverage and today IBM is really the only company that looks at it that way”.
