Have you forgotten the rock solid ERP software IBM made? Those packages are
still out there being sold by other companies. There are MAPICS, DMAS, HRGAS
and one or two others. Many of the IBM'ers left the company along with their
software.
I know of two construction companies still running CMAS on S/36's. Sure,
they've had some enhancements made for government and union purposes, but
the base still works.

check out the commenters. They love IBM. Me, I notice the IBMer does not
mention any software that IBM is creating itself. It is all about searching
for what others have done, making it enterprise strength, and I guess
selling it with an IBM label on it.
When did IBM mgmt lose confidence in the ability of its own employees to
write great software? IBMers had done a good job creating ILE. But mgmt for
some reason halted any followup improvements.
