Ibm Verse

Scott Souder, Program Director, Messaging and Collaboration Solutions at IBM, elaborated on the plans for IBM Verse (Mail Next) including the on-premises intent, which I've highlighted below:

That's one of the $64,000 questions everybody is asking. I want an on premises version of this thing as well. I was sitting just a few days ago with one of our development vice presidents and she and I were in a briefing with some of our other IBM colleagues – a large account, a very important account, I won't share the name of the account – but somebody from the account asked her the same question, and I liked her response. We're all about doing this on premises. We've not been shy in saying "Yeah, we get it; we understand that people are going to want capability and similar fashion on premises that we're building here in the cloud." But, she was very clear – and I like the answer that she gave, I have a lot of respect for her, it's Ronnie Maffa, everybody knows Ronnie – her answer was that we get it, we're going to something from an on-premises perspective, but frankly we're going to see what the uptake is in the cloud because we've got a ton of momentum behind cloud right now as everybody knows and appreciates. We're going to see how that plays out in a good chunk of 2015; we'll make some decisions along the path in 2015 to where and when we actually do the on premises piece, but in all candor we may – and this was her response – we may actually wait until 2016 before we do the on-premises version.

We don't want to sell the cloud stuff short. We expect there to be a pretty good ramp up throughout 2015. IBM is an example, golly we're moving all 400,000 people into cloud inside of IBM in the course of 2015 and into early 2016. Part of that experience will be Mail Next. So we want to give the cloud a decent shot here at success before we absolutely start working on the on premises thing. But that day will come, and we'll make sure that we are signaling to the market the time and place at which to expect that, but that gives you at least a little bit of an idea of what we're thinking for on premises.
