IBM is preparing for a UK exit from the EU
Except for the sticky header, this is a surprisingly useable page.
It's funny, how in 2019, it feels strangely unfamiliar to be able to simply read a page without having to fight it and be annoyed by a million dark patterns.
Genuine question: most countries in the world are not part of EU. The US, Japan, China etc are all doing fine and have good trade agreements in place with EU. No company is leaving from these countries because they don't happen to be in EU. What am I missing?
Well, at least somebody has a plan.
Makes sense they have this page and it shows thoughtfulness in identifying specific potential risks. But I think I only counted one plan that was actually disclosed: using EU Standard Clauses in client contracts to ensure data portability. Everything else pretty much says "we have comprehensive plans in place for this possibility".
As they point out, they're not going to be affected by customs issues. Anyone depending on physical imports or exports is faced with preparing for unknown but undoubtedly large delays.
Given today's events of voting down the only deal on offer, the only realistic remaining outcomes are chaotic No Deal or No Brexit.
