A Letter from Nancy Pearson

Throughout the year, IBM has continued to build tremendous momentum around Information on Demand. Information Management announced new capabilities that help organizations go beyond traditional business insight to optimize their real time business processes, transform customer service, increase employee productivity, reduce risk and generate new revenue opportunities.

We’ve grown our proven set of solutions and services to better leverage and drive business value out of information. These solutions provided improved efficiencies, increased responsiveness, and greater insight for you into your customers and businesses all while keeping your costs down for storing, managing and relying on this information throughout its lifecycle. IBM Software Services consultants continued to expand their skills and knowledge to help you successfully implement your solutions and maximize the value of your investment while addressing your critical business needs. Our growing business partner community continues to make an impact in our marketplace.

IBM’s 2007 strategic acquisitions of Data Mirror Corp., Princeton Softech, Inc., and the pending Cognos Inc. and Solid Information Technology acquisitions, have significantly improved our Information Management portfolio by adding offerings in Dynamic Warehousing, Master Data Management, Leveraging Information, Data Server, Data Governance, Business Intelligence and Performance Management solution areas.

Yes, 2007 has been a very exciting year for Information On Demand. I’d like to thank you all for your continued business and support. Join us next year in our journey to expand more Information Management solutions and offerings that deliver business value to you!

Nancy Pearson
Vice President, IBM Information Management Marketing
