Bwahahahaha
Let’s have another ad from Redmond telling how wonderful they are. /s
IBM makes money through contract IT support. Apple has been trying to break into the enterprise market for decades.
Yes, it sounds great, IBM moving Mac’s into their work space, etc., etc.
The key sentence in this article is at the end:
“And in August, IBM announced a program designed to help large enterprises incorporate Macs within their existing IT infrastructures. IBM’s MobileFirst Managed Mobility Services utilize the company’s own experiences from its Mac@IBM program.”
IBM is looking for a way to expand business. Supporting Apple products in an Enterprise environment is one of them. IBM has to add Mac’s to their infrastructure in order to be able to sell their services.
It would be a bit awkward for IBM to explain why they don’t use a product they sell support services for.
This is nothing more than a press release for IBM contract services and Apple enterprise products.
