Looks to me it is to bring more customers to AWS, Google and Azure... I guess the IBM Cloud is done?

"...This is IBM's mass hiring program for cloud consulting. Call it what it is, An insult to many American employees working in cloud related fields. ..."

Everything Wall Street and perhaps Gov't does is an insult to the American Working Masses, LOL!

NAFTA, GATT, Offshoring, Offshore No Collar investments, etc.

That's before we talk about things like "One Ten", etc.

The American worker is stuck in the conumdrum of having to pay fully marked up retail price for everything... at USA prices... but having to compete with third world wage rates...

That's a pr-scrip-ion for getting crunched, to say the least.

IBM always acquires the wrong companies... and that includes Red Hat!!

Been working in EMEA for 8 years and never once heard of this company. Sounds like a regional player in Nordics which were decimated by layoffs several years ago.

This is IBM's mass hiring program for cloud consulting. Call it what it is, An insult to many American employees working in cloud related fields.

The poor ba$tards.....

this is a regional play at best...
also, i am having hard time connecting dots to red hat...
