Why an OS/2 Strategy for e-business?

IBM(R) has endorsed the strengths and benefits of Internet technologies and platform independence for several years and has encouraged customers worldwide to make the transition to the WebSphere(R) Software Platform. To facilitate this transition, IBM enhanced the OS/2(R) operating system to become a deployment platform for e-business applications, while at the same time helping preserve investments in legacy applications.

Industry standards, Internet technologies, and platform independence are IBM's strategic recommendations for coping with the rapid pace of software and hardware technology changes. Exploitation of industry standards and Internet technologies hedges information technology investments, and platform independence preserves choices and options. Customers who have already made the transition to the WebSphere Software Platform have discovered that Internet technologies and platform independence can create a competitive advantage: they help reduce costs and facilitate the rapid deployment of new applications and services. The transformation to e-business could be a critical factor in a company's growth and prosperity, or a defensive strategy to protect a business from competitors.
