Whoa.... a first... in the recent employee broadcast, our CEO, Ginni, said that she was surprised that IBM can only use our world-changing-new-cloud-base email, IBM Verse, only in 2Q. She asked the CIO office why and was told that there is a need to migrate the employee email to the cloud first and it will be by batches. She asked why? Some people do not need to have all their historical mails to be moved. And as such, she told us that if we want to use IBM Verse without needing to migrate our emails over, we can start as soon as March, when the product is generally available. Wow! Who would have thought! This reminds me to the beta-opt-in that many email providers set up where you need special invitation to even try. Now we can use it once it is available, no need to wait for the CIO office to say so. Go Ginni!
You see, we move in the type of speed and agility of a startup!
Serious cool stuff happening here @IBM!
Thrilled that we can be agile! Hats off to Ginni for asking tough questions. I want to migrate to Verse already and enjoy the seamlessness of email & Connections :-)
