Slide 3: What’s new for Fall 2008 For Fall 2008, IBM is continuing to develop and refine both its Express Advantage midmarket offerings and its rich portfolio of Business Partner enablement tools and resources. IBM product development is proactive, not reactive, to help you stay ahead of the market. We’ve used our unparalleled market intelligence, understanding and insight, driven in part by our third and latest Global CEO Study with its midmarket POV, to target current top-of-mind issues for midmarket executives worldwide. This has enabled us to deliver the offerings they need, when they need them – now – in areas such as IT Security, Business Continuity, IT Optimization, and Maximizing Business Value and Performance. We’ve introduced new and enhanced resources for Business Partner enablement, including compelling new incentive programs for educating yourself about IBM offerings and for co-marketing with IBM. These new resources complement our strong existing incentives for marketing, sales of servers and storage, services and software. We’re making it easier to go to market. We’ve updated our demand-generation tools with new marketing assets for IT Security, Green IT and Collaborate to Innovate solutions. New opportunity management capabilities offer more convenience for updating opportunities, and enable you to obtain information about IBM Global Financing from within an opportunity. IBM is also making it easier to collaborate with other Business Partners, as well as making it easier to interact with IBM itself, through new networking and collaboration resources, such as the Voice of the Business Partner program and Value Net Connections. New for customers are incentive programs like Power Rewards, where customers can earn points towards valuable migration services and other offerings designed to encourage them to adopt new IBM server technology. There’s also a new, complementary Web-based IT Security Assessment and diagnostic tool to help customers identify the security strategies, capabilities and technologies used by companies with best-in-class performance and measure their readiness against those standards.

Slide 5: What’s going on in the midmarket? The midmarket is a shifting landscape, constantly changing in response to new market pressures, customer demands and competitive threats. Not only are there new areas of focus and concern for these customers, but the way they view IT and make decisions about IT spending is changing as well. We’ve learned that midmarket buyers are an increasingly diverse group, focused more and more on strategic business results. Midmarket executives’ overarching strategic concern has long been, and remains, the need to find trusted advisors who understand their industry and have experience implementing the solutions they need. But, the profile of buyers has changed. The influence of non-IT executives in IT project initiation has increased markedly. IBM research shows that projects initiated by non-IT execs increased from 35 percent to 45 percent in 2007, surpassing IT-only initiated projects. During the same period, 20 percent of projects are initiated by both IT and non-IT execs. What this means for you is that you need to market to a new audience in addition to IT executives – line-of-business executives and senior management who are primarily interested in business results. This stands in contrast to IT executives, who tend to focus on optimizing IT processes. This shift in IT buyers and influencers is driven by an increasing reliance by midmarket line-of-business and non-IT, C-level execs on IT to help them achieve their company’s business objectives. Line-of-business execs have a high propensity to initiate workforce effectiveness and go-to-market projects, such as collaboration and CRM. C-level execs are more involved in business and process efficiencies, such as decision support and systems management. Understanding these changes and concerns is the first step to capturing midmarket opportunity. IBM devotes considerable resources to market intelligence and developing thought leadership, in order to gain this understanding. We’ve recently completed the 2008 Global CEO Study (available at ibm.com), which contains a dedicated POV for the midmarket. Executives worldwide have told us what they’re most concerned with, and we’ve listened...and developed new insight that has helped us identify the most important customer needs. Midmarket findings from the study reflect the rise of the information omnivore, global integration and the rise of the socially minded consumer. The research is part of our ongoing efforts to understand midmarket buyers and better align our solutions and coverage strategy to meet their demands. Our market intelligence efforts have shown that, today, there are three, key midmarket customer needs. These focus areas have driven our new product introductions and refreshes for Fall 2008: • Security and Business Continuity • IT Optimization • Maximized Business Performance and Value 5
Slide 6: Solution focus areas for Fall 2008 “ The Express Managed Security Services offering enabled us to effectively solve our spam problem without having to invest in hardware or software.” – SUMA IBM is making a number of product and services announcements that focus on critical midmarket customer needs: Security and Business Continuity, IT Optimization, and Maximized Business Performance and Value. Customer need: Security and Business Continuity Why this matters • SMBs spend almost twice as much of their IT budgets on security as large enterprises (5 percent to 10 percent vs. 3 percent to 6 percent for large enterprises). They are concerned with data security, business continuity and application security. • For the first time, Protecting Business Assets has surpassed IT Optimization in importance. • Protecting Business Assets drives control and visibility of business process and information for protection against, and efficient response to, regulatory standards, security threats and catastrophic events.

Slide 8: Customer need: IT Optimization Why this matters • As the business climate becomes more challenging, mid-sized organizations are responding with increasingly sophisticated business and technology requirements, but have fewer resources to integrate technology into their operations. • The midmarket (100-999 employees) is forecasted to be a US$250 billion IT opportunity in 2008 with a 4.9 percent annual growth rate, and small businesses (<100 employees) are a US$280 billion opportunity with a 5 percent growth rate. Both of these rates outpace growth in large enterprises, forecasted to be at 3.4 percent.

Slide 10: “ With the IBM SAP All-in-One Solution, we can take advantage of the same tools that larger companies use, helping us to make the most of our potential for growth and profitability.” –Mary Alice Betts, IC Intracom Customer need: Maximized Business Performance and Value Why this matters • Workforce effectiveness and go-to-market effectiveness have consistently been the top two market drivers in the midmarket • The desired business value for Workforce effectiveness is to improve employee productivity and satisfaction through collaboration, content management and mobile access. • The desired business value to be derived from go-to-market effectiveness is increasing revenues and profit margins with more efficient management of customer-related information and processes. • In 2008, nearly a quarter of SMBs plan to spend on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications.

Slide 12: Financing that helps close deals In a time of economic uncertainty and tight cash flows, the ability to afford new purchases is highly dependent on ready access to credit at attractive rates and on good terms. IBM Global Financing (IGF) is well positioned to address this important requirement and help you close the deal. IGF is the world’s largest financier, with an asset base of nearly US$34 billion, and 125,000 customers in more than 50 countries. In 2006, IGF made US$42.3 billion available to clients and Business Partners. It is also expanding as a key tool worldwide: Rapid Online Financing is deployed in 32 countries and 17 languages, with nearly 3,500 IBM Business Partners actively participating.

Slide 13: Going to market with IBM Express Advantage High-value, targeted offerings, Business Partner enablement tools and compelling financing are all important to your midmarket success, but they’re only part of the picture. A winning strategy also has to include something more: teamwork. IBM recognized the value of working together with our Business Partners to capture the midmarket opportunity years ago, and made them the centerpiece of our go-to-market strategy for this vital market segment. To help turn this strategy into reality, we created IBM Express Advantage, an end-toend platform of specially designed offerings, Business Partner enablement and direct customer interaction, designed to drive growth and profit for Business Partners and IBM alike. IBM Express Advantage is rich, ever-changing and varied, but it comes down to a simple idea – working together to deliver innovation to customers worldwide.

The depth, global reach, expertise and industryleading technology of IBM, combined with the local presence and knowledge, and unique value add of thousands of Business Partners, make an unbeatable combination. And it’s IBM Express Advantage that makes it possible. 13
