IBM Lotus: kleine groei in Q4, 2005
Category NoneBookmark :
Nadat IBM eerder dit jaar enkele kwartalen kende waarin IBM Lotus met dubbele cijfers groeide, moeten we voor Q4 genoegen nemen met een kleinere groei: 2 procent. Dat is minder spectaculair dan in de eerdere kwartalen, maar 't is wel groei. Dit zijn de meest relevante uittreksels:
| "Revenues from Software were $4.6 billion, flat (up 3 percent, adjusting for currency) compared with the fourth quarter of 2004. Revenues from IBM's middleware brands, which include WebSphere, DB2, Tivoli, Lotus and Rational products, were $3.7 billion, up 1 percent versus the fourth quarter of 2004. [...] For the WebSphere family of software products, which facilitate customers' ability to manage a wide variety of business processes using open standards to interconnect applications, data and operating systems, revenues increased 4 percent. [...] and revenues for Lotus software, which allows collaborating and messaging by customers in real-time communication and knowledge management, increased 2 percent. [...] IBM expects to hold or gain market share for the fourth quarter in each of the five key middleware brands." |
