Reinvent your business
with IBM Cloud Applications
Transform Your Business with Software as a Service | 2
Ecosystem-based innovation
Companies are leveraging an array of cloud-based
tools and digital services from a broad ecosystem.
As a result, they can enhance collaboration,
increase workforce efficiency and accelerate
innovation.
Insight-driven processes
Real-time analytics generate opportunities from
nontraditional data sources—everything from
cognitive to the Internet of Things (IoT). Taking
advantage of this information requires integrating
data from disparate sources. Relying on powerful
cloud-based analytics tools and leveraging social
business networks are necessities.
Frontline decision-making
Leading companies understand their customers
covet personalized experiences. They also realize
making informed decisions that drive those
experiences requires the right people have
access to the right information.
How do they do it? We identify three areas that enable them to thrive:
Welcome to the cloud era. It’s an exciting time to be in a position of IT and business leadership. Let the transformation begin.
Businesses around the world are reinventing themselves to
remain competitive in a time when disruption is the new normal.
What separates good companies from the great ones? The game plan plays a big part. Today’s top companies are proactive in their
approach. Companies adopting new digital technologies that reinvent their businesses are perfect examples. The very best ones disrupt
markets and, in some cases, entire industries.

Staying ahead of the competition
today demands using the latest
tools. Our research of more than
800 companies*
shows that
business leaders like you are
increasingly using cloud-based
Software as a Service (SaaS).
SaaS is helping them create new
business models and create
competitive advantage.

All signs point to cloud adoption.
Today’s Line of Business (LOB) leaders face increased pressure to perform. As a result, they are subscribing to SaaS
solutions for quick access to tools that help them reach their goals. However, this often results in fractured systems that
force IT leaders to create security and integration workarounds.
The indirect costs of using unauthorized systems and services—commonly known as “Shadow IT”—are straining IT budgets. A secure,
cost-effective option is needed. We believe the answer is applying a cohesive, enterprise-wide, IT-endorsed cloud strategy—with SaaS as
a critical component. This strategy can unify and amplify the power of your enterprise’s technology investments, improving efficiencies and
performance across the entire organization.
