Business cases are real. (And they are Very Important to some of us.) But the most game changing developments were NOT done because of the business case. Some had no business case at all. Others became game changers way out of scope of their business case. IBM is not going to do this. If you want it done, either give them a "business case", or get someone else to do it, or ...
