IBM (NYSE: IBM) posted impressive earnings in the fourth quarter -- more than 11% growth -- and put up an even more impressive forecast. Its software and services businesses are doing unusually well, and the company expects that to continue.

On the company's conference call (see full transcript), management made an even stronger case for why the company should do well in 2008.

One of the powerful cases the company made is that its products provide "cost savings for our customers." By making IT more efficient, IBM is arguing that its value to companies in a weak economy actually increases.

Management also pointed to IBM's "cash generation capability." In a tough economic period, that helps the company in several ways. It does not have to go to the credit markets when they are rocky. It can produce cash for acquisition and it can fund a share buy-back to improve EPS. Most companies do not have a level of ongoing free cash flow to support that many initiatives.

Finally, the company made the point that in developing markets in Asia, revenue is growing 20%, but operating income is moving up over 40%. That kind of growth can offset almost any slowdown in the US and Europe.
