Over the last five years, the share of equipment sales fellsignificantly in IBM's turnover, while software and servicesboomed. The company boosted its number of clients on the SMEsegment and is no longer completely dependent on big contracts,says Mihai Tudor.


Investments made by American company International BusinessMachines (IBM) in Romania in the past few years, which continuedeven after the local economy went into recession, leading to anincrease in the number of employees of the IT giant, were thebiggest performance of his four year and a half mandate at the helmof IBM Romania, Mihai Tudor told ZF in an interview. He waspromoted at the beginning of the year as CEO of IBM South-EastEurope.
"My most important accomplishment is Romania's positioning on IBM'sgeographic map," says Tudor, specifying that each investmentproject carried out in Romania has been won as a result of aninternal competition with other IBM subsidiaries in othercountries. Whilst in 2006, when Tudor came to Romania, the companyonly had operations in Bucharest, IBM has since expanded toTimişoara (2007) and Braşov (2009).
