Five Days in the Labs – Part 1

Last month we were delighted to be given the opportunity to visit IBM’s research and development centre in Boeblingen, Germany.  Before I get on to what exactly we were doing there I’d like to share a little information about the centre itself as it’s quite a place!  Opened in 1953, Boeblingen is host to a whopping 2000 IT specialists, electrical engineers and physicists working on over 40 projects!  Their focus is on the development of next generation microprocessors, mainframes and supercomputers and enterprise software to control business processes.  In addition, Boeblingen is one of the largest LINUX and SAP integration centres within IBM.  So we were rightly excited about the visit.
