IBM also announced today that its lending arm, IBM Global Financing, is offering zero percent financing to help Oracle customers move to new IBM software. Indeed, IBM officials claim that in 2010, more than 1,000 Oracle database customers moved to IBM's DB2, and more than 400 Oracle WebLogic clients chose WebSphere. For instance, IBM officials said Guangdong Rural Credit Cooperatives, the largest rural credit bank in China, chose IBM technology to build an enterprise-wide banking system. The new IT infrastructure, built on DB2 and WebSphere software and Power Systems, will consolidate the data and integrate the business processes of all 99 member cooperatives. IBM was selected as the preferred partner over Oracle and HP, responsible for providing the core technology for the IT infrastructure and integrating the 23 disparate systems previously installed in member cooperatives, IBM said.
