Impact #1	Migrate: IBM’s comprehensive proposal addressed American’s immediate and long term operational concerns through a seamless migration of on-premise servers to IBM Cloud’s Infrastructure as a Service with VMware Cloud Foundation solution.
Impact #2	Transform: IBM also proposed to accelerate the transformation of American’s application development, organization and skills, based on its IBM Cloud Garage Method. As IBM and American jointly developed the new cloud-native apps in Cloud Foundry on IBM Public Cloud Platform as a Service, the old components would be retired.
Impact #3	Operate: The solution brings operations into the development squads, and leverages IBM’s Cloud Solutions Operations Center to provide 24-hour application support and management services, with the IBM team located both onsite at American’s location and at an IBM off-shore location.
