In 2016-17, IBM dropped out of Intermedium’s top five Federal Government ICT suppliers* for the first time in over ten years. In 2017-18, it looks set to return to this group, as it is currently sitting at third spot in the rankings. If Defence-only suppliers are excluded from the analysis, IBM is currently in top place. This rebound is noteworthy, given that the supplier was in ninth place on the leaderboard in 2016-17 – its lowest position on the leader board in the last twelve years
