The money, to be allocated over three years, will go on ISV support programs, channel and “partner enablement” and promotion, research and development, sales and marketing, and various technology and integration centers.

The news is in response to high double-digit growth in 2004 in the number of customers deploying IBM collaboration software on the Linux platform, including WebSphere Portal, Lotus Notes/Domino and IBM Workplace, it says, going on:

“This expanded Linux support will help give customers the ability to build end-to-end Linux solutions and provide customers with expanded choice in choosing a client while helping to manage costs and increase flexibility through cross-platform support.”
