What about that Search Technology
January 10, 2009
In 2002, IBM acquired Pricewaterhouse Coopers here. In 2007 here IBM and PWC agreed to pay more than $5.2 million to settle allegations of false claims. In January 2009 here Times Online reported that PWC was “in the spotlight” with regard to the Satyam issue. IBM sells search and content processing systems. IBM sells text mining and business intelligence systems. Does IBM use these systems to identifies anomalies like the alleged Satyam anomalies. This addled goose wonders if these systems work. If not, would this addled goose buy a business intelligence or search system from IBM? Nope.
