The world has changed a lot  since the AS/400 was launched and you may have a question where IBM  will be in 2018, three decades after the AS/400 launch. In fact,  your concern will be answered when at IBM's recent Investor Briefing event for Wall Street analysts, IBM shows where it will be by 2018. The most important is that IBM is following its "strategic initiatives” to grow.

And in order to understand these strategic initiatives, I will list some main points mentioned in an article on itjungle.  They are these figures and forecasts that CEO Ginny Rometty and CFO Martin Schroeter indicated in his presentation at the Investor Briefing.
