IBM commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct an emerging Total Economic Impact (TEI) technology assessment study to examine how Financial Services organizations are driving business outcomes by using both IBM and Red Hat solutions to modernize infrastructure and applications, resolve legacy architecture challenges, and meet rapidly changing market needs. Forrester looked at moving and operating core applications, data and workloads—faster and securely—anywhere with the combined solutions, including hardware, operating systems, middleware, management and orchestration technologies, and professional services.

Forrester interviewed six organizations that are customers of both IBM and Red Hat to examine the ways in which they utilize solutions by both IBM and Red Hat in tandem and the impacts achieved as a result.
