THE Linux and open source movement has changed the very paradigms of software, platform and development methodologies, breeding business models inconceivable in the previous decades. In line with this trend, IBM Corp's software strategy is to focus on middleware and team with industry independent software vendors (ISVs) to deliver solutions. "We are our customers' trusted business partner. Thus, IBM's ISV partners can more effectively focus on producing new applications with peace of mind, knowing that we are committed to their growth.
