The IBM record.

Every case study in this library is a real enterprise engagement. The names are protected, the industries are stated, and the numbers are sourced from the engagement records. The case studies cover the full IBM and Red Hat estate across regulated industries and the largest enterprise software estates in the world.

Common themes across the IBM case study library: ELA renewal at fifteen to thirty percent below the previous term, ILMT and BigFix Inventory deployment in fourteen weeks or less, audit defense reducing exposure by eighty percent or more, and Red Hat renewal through cluster scoping and virtual data center consolidation.

The IBM practice at Redress Compliance covers the full IBM and Red Hat estate. Db2, MQ, WebSphere, Cognos, the mainframe stack, Cloud Pak product family, OpenShift, RHEL, and Ansible. Every paper, every case study, and every article in this library has been written from a real enterprise engagement, where the publisher account team sat on one side of the table and our practice sat on the other.

Use the search to find a specific paper, case study, or article. Open the IBM knowledge hub for the topical view, the IBM Practice page for the engagement model, and the IBM Audit Defense Guide for the canonical buyer side framework. Read the main white paper library, the case study library, and the editorial library for the cross vendor view.
