Global information-technology giant IBM is planning to provide its Smarter Cities solutions to medium-sized cities this year by means of cloud computing and software as a service. The move will aim to expand IBM’s business base and add new business partners, thereby increasing the company’s revenue and creating new markets. IBM’s vice president and chief technology officer for the global public sector Guruduth Banavar said the company planned to deliver shared services for Smarter Cities, focused on business outcomes rather than IT solutions, through a cloud-based delivery model, starting this year.
