IBM Introduces New Offerings to Accelerate Global Software Development

At the INNOVATE 2011 conference, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced new software that helps organizations collaborate more efficiently throughout the entire software and systems development process. The new software allows developer teams to quickly access resources and work across global boundaries through an open, collaborative development environment.

According to the IBM CEO Study, a survey of more than 1,500 Chief Executive Officers from 60 countries and 33 industries worldwide, two-thirds of global organizations manage software development teams working in multiple locations. Additionally, the study found there is a growing unpredictability in getting software through development and into its full application within an organization. More than 62% of development projects fail to meet the intended schedule and 30% of project costs are due to rework and poor execution of requirements.
