Explanation

One of the biggest challenges customers face these days when searching for the right IT solution is accurately predicting the costs/benefits to their business. With the IT landscape constantly shifting due to the explosion of data from fields like mobile and social networking, the amount of data businesses must process has grown exponentially. Finding the right approach has never been more critical. The Alinean tool, developed by IBM, is designed to help customers get an accurate picture of what their business would look like with an IT solution from IBM PureSystems. The customer can fill in as much or as little information as they like and the tool will use industry standards, averages, and assumptions to create an analysis of what their organization would save by shifting The customer has complete control at all times over the level of detail they submit ?a report can be generated by answering as little as three basic questions such as company name, location and industry. If they want a more detailed report however, they can choose to enter information such as data servers, types of application software, and their storage requirements. With this additional information the tool can generate a richly detailed view of the specific savings an IBM PureSystems solution would provide. benefits-of-expert-integrated-systems/#sthash.9yaC7Epj.dpuf
