RE: cloud services with new development on IBM i on Power

Yes, you have to be unbiased to make such reports.

So if I send you a sales graph that says sales have declined 200% month over month wouldn't you ask to see the raw data?

I sure would. Or your saying you would take the graph at face value and not question it?

In order for these graphs to mean anything, an informed user needs to see how they did the calculations and where they got their data.

All I see right now is pretty graphs, with no data to corroborate their claims.

Matt Olson,
are you saying that ITG's favorable report on IBM cannot be trusted if IBM funded the research?
I think we can rely on the published numbers as true.

Of course, There may be other ITG research examples that IBM chose not to high-light because of not being favorable.
