Extreme Blue is a company initiative that uses experiencedIBM engineers, talented interns, and business
managers to develop high-value technology. The project is designed to analyze emerging business needs and
the technologies that can solve them. These projects mostly involve rapid-prototyping of high-profile software
and hardware projects.
In May 2007, IBM unveiled Project Big Green, a re-direction of $1 billion per year across its businesses to
increase energy efficiency.
