2004-2011 financial analysis: Non-traditional SI (Indian players and IBM)

By Martijn Linssen on April 3, 2012

Yesterday I published my financial analysis of 4 traditional system integrators: Accenture, Atos Origin, Capgemini and Logica. In a conversation I got asked why IBM wasn’t on the list, and my answer was somewhere along the line of “it’s not a pure player”.

Traditional system integrators 2004-2011 financials

By Martijn Linssen on April 2, 2012

Traditionally, 31st of March is the date that all my favourite system integrators (SI) have released their annual report for the previous year. Oddly, however, I’ve seen some strange changes this year – for the first time. I could -and will- even say that traditions have been broken with I had to look hard and […]

Ask not what your company can do for you, …?

By Martijn Linssen on January 21, 2011

John F Kennedy to me was one of the finest presidents of the US. Shot and killed before I was even born, but still. During his inaugural address on January 20th 1961, one of his now famous quotes was: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for […]
