In just a few short years, IBMs business was changing drastically. While Cloud Technology is growing at 30% a year, IBM was a late entrant; its traditional base of mainframe hardware was in steep decline and its Cloud offerings were not in the top of the consideration set. But IBM saw an opportunity to re-purpose its long-standing sponsorship of the US Open to capture the attention of the new Cloud audience with a dramatic hybrid of code and music, thereby accelerating the brand -- and the business toward the Cloud-based future.
