Gisteren publiceerde IBM de resultaten voor het tweede kwartaal 2005. Na een succesvol eerste kwartaal, presteert IBM Lotus opnieuw goed:
| "...and revenues for Lotus software, which allows collaborating and messaging by customers in real-time communication and knowledge management, increased 17 percent. [...] ...As a result, IBM expects to gain market share for the second quarter in the collaborative software, systems management and security software, Web services and data management categories." |
Opnieuw dus een goed kwartaal voor de Lotus Software groep. Overigens deed de hele IBM Software-divisie het prima:
| "Revenues from Software were $3.8 billion, an increase of 10 percent (7 percent, adjusting for currency) compared with the second quarter of 2004. Revenues from IBM's middleware brands, which include WebSphere, DB2, Tivoli, Lotus and Rational products, were $3.0 billion, up 11 percent versus the second quarter of 2004. Operating systems revenues increased 3 percent to $592 million compared with the prior-year quarter. Revenues for the WebSphere family of software products, which facilitates customers' ability to manage a wide variety of business processes using open standards to interconnect applications, data and operating systems, increased 18 percent. Revenues for Information Management software increased 15 percent with revenue growth of 14 percent in the DB2 database family of software offerings, which enables clients to leverage information on demand. Revenues from Tivoli software (infrastructure software that enables customers to centrally manage networks and storage) increased 28 percent, and revenues for Lotus software, which allows collaborating and messaging by customers in real-time communication and knowledge management, increased 17 percent. Revenues from Rational software (integrated development tools) increased 8 percent compared with the year-ago quarter. As a result, IBM expects to gain market share for the second quarter in the collaborative software, systems management and security software, Web services and data management categories." |
