IBM vs Manpower

Manpower, Inc. is a world leader in the employment services industry.

IBM is the world's largest information technology company and a global leader in business consultancy services.

IBM is Manpower's biggest client globally; Manpower is the biggest contractor staffing provider of IBM Philippines.

The healthy business relationship was strengthened with the first Manpower-IBM Goodwill basketball game last night at the Brent campus inside the Philsports compaund in Pasig. Mind you, it was a real game as there were two referees and a couple of table officials presiding over FIBA rules. The challenge was issued by Manpower last week and was graciously accepted by IBS (representing IBM Phils.)

The under-manned IBS team composed of eight players outclassed the more athletic yet overconfident Manpower side, 60-55.

With the embarassment caused by IBM to Manpower, I'm certain there will be more games coming soon.

Too bad I can't play til about a year from now.
