(43) See, for example, case M.2478 IBM/Italia/Business Solutions/JV, paragraph 25, where the Commission noted that it had considered in the past that IT services were provided at national level, such as in case M.2195 Cap Gemini/Vodafone. However, it observed that IT services showed a trend towards internationalisation of demand and supply, motivated in part by the use of the internet enabling operation on a remote basis. This trend towards internationalisation was confirmed in the later case M.6237 Computer Sciences Corporation/iSOFT Group, paragraphs 17 and 18, where the Commission noted that major providers of IT services operated on a global basis and customers frequently issued global/EEA-wide calls for tender. In these cases the geographic market definition was left open.
