The general rule of thumb is if the product page says "contact us" instead of a price, you can't afford it. It is a shame though. IBM has no idea how to sell

The general rule of thumb is if the product page says "contact us" instead of a price, you can't afford it.
It is a shame though. IBM has no idea how to sell to anyone other that gigantic megacorps - which, fair enough, but they could probably pick up a lot of sales to medium-sized businesses if they weren't so old-fashioned about everything
- wmf 4y agoMedium-sized businesses can easily buy IBM stuff through VARs. (If your VAR does not recommend any IBM products, that's a different situation.) If you're smart enough to buy IT directly then you're probably also smart enough to realize that very few IBM products are good.
