Why IBM Is Moving To Firefox As Default Browser


By Daya Baran at July 01, 2010 1 Comments    Share

The simple answer is Cloud Computing. IBM is moving to Firefox as its default browser to ride the Cloud Computing wave. For the shift to the cloud to be successful, open standards must be used in the infrastructure, in the applications, and in the way people exchange data. IBM is betting on Firefox as the modern platform to deliver on that promise and significantly drive greater use of Cloud Computing. IBM also believes that Firefox is enterprise and they are going to use it enterprise wide.

Dr. Robert S. Sutor, Vice President, Open Source and Standards IBM Corporation wrote:

- Any employee who is not now using Firefox will be strongly encouraged to use it as their default browser.

- All new computers will be provisioned with it.

- We will continue to strongly encourage our vendors who have browser-based software to fully support Firefox.

- We’ll offer employee education and point our people to great online information, all of which will look wonderful in Firefox.
