It's been a long time since I've heard about any successful projects coming out of IBM's consulting and services businesses. Mostly it's one headline after another like this- "Billion dollar project scrapped". How much longer can they keep coasting on the reputation of what was, if we're being honest, a completely different business that just happened to have the same name?
You don't hear about successful projects. They don't make news stories.
I've done a ton of projects in consulting, not IBM, but you've never heard of any of them, because they worked, and the customer was happy (although maybe some delays, or other randomness.)
It's self selecting that news is about massive failures.
