The company expected to profit from the wave of data-crunching software by improving the Weather Company's modeling technology and developing a new generation of predictive applications for incremental revenues. However, over a period of time, IBM has streamlined its operations in order to focus on its core hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence businesses. It has spun off its legacy Managed Infrastructure Services business in a bid to accelerate its hybrid cloud growth strategy, with a focus on enabling clients with accelerated digital transformation. It has further restructured its segments post the separation of its managed infrastructure services business from Kyndryl. IBM expects growth to be driven primarily by analytics, cloud computing and security services. A better business mix, improving operating leverage through productivity gains and increased investments in growth opportunities will likely drive its profitability.
