How is IBM thinking to earn their investment back?
The ROI on ISS (based on last two quarters) is very high.
They make a profit of +/- 25 million a year.
With current profit it will take over 50 years to make up for this investment.
Besides this IBM has high qualified and respected security researchers in house, which are able to make better products that ISS does.
I think that customers should be aware of this rare investment strategy of old big blue.
