>>>Why is consolidation needed? <<<

From what I have read, corporations want complete solutions and do not want to buy their technology piecemeal....all the way from consulting services to every piece of hardware and software.

When pieces are purchased separately their intergration can be very costly and often not optimized. I think its Dell that keeps telling my business friends, "buy everything from us and we will make sure that it will compatible"

This has been IBM's strength.
