The Global Business Solutions Center (GBSC) has the primary role in developing new solution assets, working with client teams and business partners. A Solution Asset Enhancement & Maintenance will sponsor all development where the GBSC performs ongoing enhancement and maintenance of solution assets. The additional work will be directed and approved by the Solution Board that ‘owns’ the asset. Delivery Support for Mature Solution involves the GBSC providing delivery support and subject matter expertise for solution assets. The GBSC is fully integrated into the broader Global Delivery model.

Through the Global Business Solutions Center, IBM creates and enhances a portfolio of replicable industry solutions that are developed by combining the strengths of IBM’s business consulting, research, software, systems, engineering, and emerging technologies. These new solutions will be built based on IBM’s Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) methodology, and in collaboration with IBM clients and business partners.
