IBM Information Management © 2007 IBM Corporation Past success  Many ideas have come to life earlier because of the collaboration (from Watson, Almaden, Zurich, Tokyo, … at IBM) with universities  Relational database  RISC (and other processor architectures)  RAID  SiGe  Semiconductor process technologies  System Reliability  … Many of which have gone on to make the research ubiquitous, researchers famous, and revenue for the corporation.

Different parts of the innovation get developed in different locations. How does a university collaborate? (Very different from the early database days when most of the IBM work was centered in either Silicon Valley with a little work in Poughkeepsie – easy to pick the leaders and work with them.)
