According to IBM, SMBs have distinct needs that are often ignored by most service providers. The latest move, according to the company, will benefit SMBs, and provide them with a competitive edge - especially in this era of globalization. IBM plans to address the growing business issues amongst SMBs with its hardware and software products/services portfolio.
