IBM is working with ISVs like SAP (e-business software solutions); QAD (collaborative commerce applications); SAS (business intelligence, e-commerce and customer relationship management solutions); and many others, to provide a wide range of applications running under Linux on Intel platforms and IBM mainframes.
