The Total Economic Impact of IBM Services and Red Hat

Organizations are investing in modernization efforts to transform the applications and infrastructure underpinning their core business activities and workflows. IBM Services offers specialized services for organizations currently using or considering Red Hat to modernize and containerize their legacy applications — avoiding internal costs and accelerating the time-to-value of open source multicloud environments. Forrester’s research states that enterprises must expand and modernize their application portfolios to win, serve, and retain customers. The challenge for firms is monumental: They require easy access to new technologies and tools, speedy application delivery, and flexible economics, and most of them increasingly rely on public cloud platforms to meet these needs. However, while application development leaders want to modernize using cloud technologies and practices, they are frequently hindered. Organizations are reluctant to undertake long and expensive transformation journeys and finding the starting point for modernization can be difficult. Furthermore, modernization requires adding new talent or re-skilling, selecting new cloud platforms, and adopting new cloud-native application delivery practices. Due to the overwhelming challenges of modernization at scale — and the possibility of costly missteps — organizations frequently partner with expert practitioners that can help guide their firms through demanding transitions in a timely and cost effective manner. IBM Services provides the people, processes, and technology for organizations to execute on their open source multicloud strategy while avoiding typical development costs and accelerating time-to-market. By containerizing and modernizing legacy applications with Red Hat OpenShift, organizations can reduce infrastructure footprints, lower maintenance costs, and achieve app and workload portability across a wider range of cloud infrastructure and platform services.
