64) Summary: Is IBM's decision to split into 2 to focus on Hybrid Cloud a good one?

Name: David Roe CMSWire

Category: General

Email: query-bdl4@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CMSWire

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 14 October

Query:

Armonk, New York-based IBM has announced a major change in
direction which its CEO Arvind Krishna, who was appointed in
April, acknowledged is a "significant shift" in the way Big Blue
does business. In an investors' call on Thursday, Oct. 8th, he
announced that the company would spin off its Managed
Infrastructure Services unit of its Global Technology Services
division into a new public company (NewCo). The idea, according
to Krishna, is to free the company from some of its less
lucrative lines of business in order to pursue its ambitions in
hybrid cloud computing. The separation of the two is expected to
be finished by the end of 2021. IBM has been going through a
major transformation in recent years and started looking at the
hybrid cloud market with the acquisition of Red Hat in 2018.
Over the past few years IBM had the appearance of a company that
had lost its focus. Why that happened is not entirely clear, but
a company as large as this one covering so many different areas
of computing would have been difficult, if not impossible, to
keep on course. Breaking it into two with one focused on the
rapidly growing hybrid cloud market worth, by IBM's estimates,
$1 trillion and an infrastructure that will be one of the
biggest, if not the biggest in the world, gives a clear focus to
both major parts of the business The new company (simply called
NewCo for the moment) from the outset will consists entirely of
IBM Global Technology Services' and all its managed
infrastructure clients. This means 4,600 technology-intensive,
highly regulated clients in 115 countries, including more than
75% of the Fortune 100, a backlog of $60 billion, and more than
twice the scale of its nearest competitor.

Is this the right move for IBM?

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real

interview lending experts, real estate faculty, housing/real
estate industry spokespersons, forbearance experts, attorneys,
and other real estate experts for the following story:

Need an extension on your forbearance plan? Here's what to do.
Many homeowners who took advantage of a forbearance plan, which
temporarily suspends mortgage payments, are seeing those
six-month plans ending and are concerned that they may need more
time. This article will explain that they can extend forbearance
for an additional six months if necessary and provide tips on
how to do so, with suggestions from experts. I can only accept
written responses (full-sentences that I can use as quotes) via
email to the following questions. My deadline is noon central,
Thursday October 15, 2020.

QUESTIONS: 1. Please explain what forbearance is, how it works,
and when/where/how it has been offered since the start of
coronavirus? 2. Who is eligible for forbearance on their
mortgage loan? Who is not eligible? 3. Why did many borrowers
pursue forbearance in the last several months? What factors were
behind this decision? 4. Why are many forbearance plans expiring
right now (e.g., they qualified for the first six months, which
is now expiring)? 5. What can/should needy borrowers do if they
still need help paying their mortgage and want to pursue
forbearance (e.g., request another six-month extension of
forbearance for a total of 12 months)? 6. What are the steps
involved with requesting or extending a forbearance? What do
borrowers need to do here? 7. What should borrowers consider
carefully before requesting a forbearance or an extension of
one? 8. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic?
9. What is your full name, title, company, city/state location,
and email address?

remain the same. Recommendations from plumbers and other experts
will also be included. Below is a list of questions I'm seeking
answers to. I can only accept written responses via email. My

its benefits? 2. Who are good candidates for installing a
thermostatic mixer valve in their shower/tub and why? 3. What
are the pros and cons of a thermostatic mixer valve? 4. Can a
thermostatic mixer valve be retrofitted into existing plumbing
easily? What are some of the challenges involved with this
project? 5. If you install a thermostatic mixing valve, you need
all new plumbing controls/fixture handles? 6. How much can it
cost to have a thermostatic mixer valve installed, with labor?
Please provide a price range. 7. What should homeowners consider
carefully before opting for a thermostatic mixer valve? 8. Any
other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this topic? 9. What is
your full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
