IBM has a strong reputation by which it becomes a major strength of it like, The
International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) announces that IBM has
been rated as #1 2007 best outsourcing service providers. So, it becomes significant
obstacle in its competitors’ performance.

IBM has a wide market share and high performance in skimming the revenue cream like
ARMONK, N.Y. - 20 Jun 2008: IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that analyst firm
Gartner, Inc. has ranked IBM as the worldwide market share leader in the enterprise
portal software market based on total software revenue for 2007 and 6,000

Their product and service qualities are the best as this year; IBM Corp. took top honors in
the enterprise category with a 6.29, narrowly edging out Sun Microsystems Inc. (6.27).
This was IBM's first win in the enterprise tape library category after placing third the
previous two years. In the midrange tape category, the same two vendors lead the pack,
but in reverse order: Sun (6.30) and IBM (6.15).

Its pricing effectiveness is a minor strength because the stuff they make and seek are
high cost so they are not in the market with cost leadership and distribution effectiveness
is a like with the pricing effectiveness.

the world.

“FINANCE”
As a leading firm of outsourcing services, IBM’s availability of capital is on continuous
bases. It associates with many capital generated firms like SEP and IAOP.

Don't feel compelled to dive into IBM just because its stock has plunged. Three words
sum up the red flag flying over Big Blue: free cash flow. Here's where the bad news gets
worse for IBM shareholders: Although the stock has dropped 30% in just three months,
Detox's free cash flow analysis shows it has further to go yet. According to a few back-
of-the-envelope calculations, IBM should be trading around $50 -- some 25% below its
recent $69.

“Cash-Not-So-Rich”
:How to Detox IBM's Cash Flows:
Cash flow from operations $15 billion
Subtract:
Capital spending $5 billion
Benefit from finance receivables $2.6 billion
Possible pension fund contribution $1.5 billion
Total adjusted free cash flow $5.9 billion
Divide by share count 1.75 billion shares
Free cash flow per share $3.37
Multiply by 15 to get Detox target $50.57
Current price $68
Downside? 25%

to embrace change. It will need to begin by working with regulators to build a financial
system that is stable while still allowing for healthy innovation. Individual firms will also
have to specialize and learn to fulfill their brand promises.

production are available at IBM's award-winning 200 mm and 300 mm fabrication facilities.
