As part of the 5-year engagement, IBM will provide comprehensive consulting services to Homestead and its affiliated companies, and will also manage its technology application development and maintenance requirements. The goal of these efforts is to help Homestead expand its presence globally by bringing more efficiency to its worldwide operations and enhancing the productivity of its IT applications.
In this collaboration, IBM will help Homestead in optimising its operating costs and resources, while also enabling the company’s Strategic Initiatives team to focus more on its transformational capabilities and move beyond everyday transaction management.

Homestead was looking for a long term strategic partner who not only had the technology expertise but could also provide consulting services to create business value enabled by information technology.

IBM’s deep technical capabilities, combined with its business know-how and experience in supporting organisations through rapid expansion, were key factors in the decision to select the company as a strategic partner.
