IBM White Papers

Read 3 IBM White Papers and comment on them.

I admit, that at first receiving this assignment, I thought I would have to spend a lot of time reading, rereading, and trying to understand the documents. I was surprised to see how not complicated these papers were. They explained complex concepts in simple, easy to understand terms, and I learned from them.

I feel like these articles, especially the IBM Information Server v. 8, did a good job of creating the need for the customer to use the product. They explain ideas of integration and federation in terms that are easy to understand.

I found myself trying to explain similar concepts to employees of a company I interned for. I wanted to build the need for change so the employees would understand and be okay with the change. It is a hard thing to do. These papers did it well.
