IBM has had a long history with many ups and downs. Some keys to its recent success include embracing consulting and data analytics through acquisitions, heavily investing in R&D spending $50 billion with 30% allocated to long-term research, and having a large, skilled workforce. IBM's plans to solve world challenges through targeting issues like pollution may face risks as the solutions to large problems are difficult with uncertain timelines and technologies that could become outdated. IBM also decentralizes and spends heavily on R&D.

Cloud Changed The Way Technology is ConsumedAutotask
Clients increasingly buy solutions as a service, to grow their businesses, innovate and optimize their cost structures. Clients look to service providers to run (their) applications in the cloud and reduce the day-to-day responsibility of keeping their IT infrastructures up and running. As a result, traditional IT-partners’ skills and service delivery capabilities must transform. This session will provide real insights and examples of how you can capture the cloud opportunity - one that is expected to be worth $75 billion by 2015.

1. Comprehensive Product Portfolio
Microsoft offers a comprehensive range of software, services, and hardware solutions across different customer classes, which enable it to enjoy a leading market position. Microsoft generates revenue by developing, manufacturing, licensing, and supporting software and services across a wide variety of computing devices. The company does business worldwide through offices in more than 100 countries. Microsoft carries out the development of systems (servers, personal computers, and intelligent devices), server applications (distributed computing environments), information worker productivity applications, business solution applications, high-performance computing applications, software development tools, video games, and online advertising.
Microsoft also provides consulting and product and solution support service, and trains and certifies computer system integrators and developers. It also concentrates on the development of various cloud-based solutions that provide customers software, services and content over the Internet by way of shared computing resources located in centralized data centers. The comprehensive product portfolio of Microsoft enables it to cater to a wide variety of customer requirements across industries and geographies.
2. Strong margins and cash position
Microsoft enjoys strong cash flow conversion rates. In FY2012, the company was able to convert 186% of its net income into cash from operations. Comparatively, IBM converted 118% of net income during FY2011 and Apple converted 122% of net income into cash from operations in FY2012. The strong cash conversion that Microsoft enjoys indicates the inherent strength in the company's business model which is dominated by sticky revenues requiring lower cost of acquisitions and pricing power associated with products that command high switching costs. The company’s strong cash flow generation capability supports its growth prospects. Strong cash flows and margins provide resilience to the business operations and reduce vulnerability to market declines. Cash flows enable the company to further finance growth at feasible costs.
3. Strong Intellectual Property
Securing patent rights is important for the development of the company’s product portfolio. Strong patent portfolio creates market exclusivity to the proprietary technology, giving the company an edge over its competitors. The company's success depends primarily on its ability to maintain and establish the proprietary nature of its technology through the patent process. The company protects intellectual property investments in a variety of ways. It actively works in the U.S. and internationally to ensure the enforcement of copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other protections that apply to its software and hardware products, services, business plans, and branding. Microsoft maintains a comprehensive U.S. and international portfolio of intellectual property which help i.
