May 2014 IBM Integrated Multivendor Support Sales Strategies

Agenda § Management Perspective Dave Messina § Why IMS? § Prepare to make client calls when this SITE call is done. § IMS covers these products. § Call to Action and Available Assets John Lavo § Q&A 2 © 2014 IBM Corporation

Products have life-spans Product launch and ramp up 3 Productivity and Optimize Trade value

Products have life-spans Existing product New product Product launch and ramp up 4 Productivity

Products have life-spans Existing product Product launch and ramp up Productivity and value growth Optimize Trade -offs In order to figure out when the best time to replace the existing product, we’d need to consider: ü Cost of Maintenance ü Cost & Availability of Parts ü Ability of the product to get the job done 5 © 2014 IBM Corporation

Products have life-spans Existing product Product launch and ramp up Productivity and value growth Optimize Trade -offs IBM has studied the lifecycle of hundreds and hundreds of products, model by model so IBM and IBM’s Business Partners may advise customers on the best time to replace products (servers, storage and networking). 6 © 2014 IBM Corporation

Multi Vendor Support (MVS) vs Integrated Multivendor Support (IMS) § MVS (Multi Vendor Support) - any equipment maintained by IBM without the support of the manufacturer. No Intellectual property included. § IMS (Integrated Multivendor Support) - An MVS offering from IBM that covers selected non IBM equipment and is characterized by: • Standard ISAT-CHIS BP discounting • Pre-priced and available for quoting via ISAT • No Special Bid required to get pricing • Single, competitive price point per serial number • IBM SSR provides the labor • Does not require machine configuration detail to price • No special SOW. Can be added to existing CHIS contract • Early removal from contract when removed from use • Standard Service. Elite margins • Additional Performance Rewards • Currently includes selected Models of EMC, HP, and Dell (more to come) 7 7 © 2014 IBM Corporation

Why IMS? Why IMS for our clients? § Immediate price quotes § Delivery is ready to go § SSR provides continuity and the IBM face to IMS for the client § Competitive price § Single point of contact Why IMS for a Partner? § Speed – IMS mimics IBM logo service offerings § Simplicity – Terms are straight-forward, SOW is standard SMA, fulfillment via ISAT-CHIS § Create Profitable new annuity streams – Land Expand § Contain and Replace – IBM engaged with client when it’s time to upgrade 8 © 2014 IBM Corporation

Starting the conversation… When IBM equipment is up for renewal, or when the non-IBM equipment is up for renewal Do you have any older non-IBM storage installed? YES Is any of it EMC? Can you address my concerns over: • • EMC Software (IP) EMC storage apps Diagnostics Quality parts No YES 9 Is any of it HP or HDS? We have a new service offering for CX, DMX and Celerra that could save you money. Are you interested? YES We have this covered. Would you like to see a proposal? © 2014 IBM Corporation

Starting the conversation… prior to a competitive take out of EMC Is EMC charging you for maintenance during the migration to IBM storage? YES IBM can provide the maintenance on the EMC storage during migration at a good price. Are you interested? 10 Can you address my concerns over: • • EMC Software (IP) EMC storage apps Diagnostics Quality parts YES We have this covered. Would you like to see a proposal? © 2014 IBM Corporation

Objection handling HP x 86 IMS Intellectual Property EMC IMS Machine code or micro-code. • Experience has proven in most cases, micro-code updates are not required for equipment under IBM MVS agreements. • Most IMS offerings target out of warranty non-IBM equipment which has few micro-code updates. • Under standard practices, IBM does not perform micro-code updates on non-IBM equipment. It is the responsibility of the client to contract and update non-IBM equipment micro-code. Not applicable. Storage application software from EMC is available to clients independent of where client buys maintenance. Call Home x 86 servers do not inherently have call home. Available as option. Provided in supplier’s diagnostic and monitoring tool. Diagnostics IBM uses the diagnostics provided by HP with the server. Provided in supplier’s diagnostic and monitoring tool. Apps Logistics (including parts) IBM leverages it’s logistic infrastructure to support our MVS parts management. We currently have a large inventory of non-IBM parts in our system. All parts are of OEM quality and were manufactured by the OEM. We use OEM new, used and reconditioned parts.

Suggested questions to ask clients to get an IMS conversation started 1. Competitive take-out – Storage: • I understand you’re finalizing preparations to replace your EMC storage with IBM storage. Have you considered IBM to provide maintenance for the IBM storage during the migration period? 2. At the time of IBM MA Contract Renewal: • Do you have any HP or Dell x 86 installed? Or EMC storage installed? If you do, our IMS offering provides pre-priced maintenance for select server and storage products from these vendors. If the Pricing on the IBM maintenance is attractive, would you consider IBM maintenance for those server and storage devices? • If you would prefer to wait until your maintenance contract with HP, Dell or EMC expires, when does that contract end? 3. Client has non-IBM equipment, but no imminent renewals (non-IBM or IBM): • Have you seen the IBM announcements describing where IBM can directly support HP and Dell x 86, including Blades, and EMC storage? The prices are competitive and in many cases, lower than the equipment manufacturer. 4. Third Party Maintenance provide Win-Back Engagement: • While engaging the customer to gain the opportunity to quote on the IBM inventory maintained by a TPM… Do you have any HP or Dell x 86 servers or EMC storage installed? Yes? Who is providing maintenance for those devices? Have you seen the IBM announcements describing where IBM can directly support HP and Dell x 86, including Blades, and EMC storage? The prices are competitive and in many cases, lower than the equipment manufacturer. 21 © 2014 IBM Corporation

IBM US TSS position on HPQ IP availability § HP’s recent firmware update announcement has no change to how IBM performs support on HP devices. § For HP’s Unix servers, there is an option to purchase just the access to firmware from HP. As of March 2014, we have not seen a similar announcement for HP x 86 servers. Please note, when an HP server is under warranty, HP will provide IP updates at no charge. When the warranty expires HP will provide safety and security updates but not bug fixes to the firmware. Once a warranty expires, the client must either keep the device at that level of firmware or contract with HP for maintenance that includes IP updates. § MVS firmware: – IBM’s MVS offering for hardware includes all parts and labor needed to repair any hardware issues that occur as a result of a component failure. This support does not include any firmware, which is considered to be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) intellectual property. – Select OEMs make firmware available over the internet at no charge. In these cases, IBM will support the equipment with client downloaded code. Other OEM’s require a support contract directly with them in order to access firmware. In these cases IBM requires clients to either “freeze” their code levels or make Time & Material arrangements with the OEM if upgrades are required. – Firmware does not normally affect older models or EOSL devices. OEMs normally make few or no changes to old firmware. § For parts, there are three possibilities for firmware delivery models. Each is determined by machine type. – 1) Part replaced and machine forces a download of machine level code. – 2) Part replaced and Engineer has to force a down load to the part of the current machine level code. – 3) Complete firmware is replaced with the part • A) The part comes in with the correct code level • B) The machine needs to be upgraded to previous code level 22 © 2014 IBM Corporation

What about storage software? § There are two different types of software we need to understand where they fit in the stack – Operating system (OS) – Application software § All EMC hardware equipment is considered a peripheral – As such, there is no need for OS support – The OS resides on the system they are attached to § EMC sells their application software as being heterogeneous – EMC states that it will work with other manufactures hardware – EMC will sell software support as stand alone – Local EMC sales teams may try to use software as a scare tactic, but EMC corporate does not support. § IBM has an EMC application software support offering that can bridge any gaps the client may have. 24 24 © 2014 IBM Corporation
