Our relationship has evolved so that today, IBM is a Worldwide Partner for Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan and Sydney, Australia. What is our role as a Worldwide Partner?

"IBM is providing the 1998 Nagano Olympics with a network of more than 5000 computers that encompass a variety of software technologies and databases.
