NEW YORK - In January 2003, Ray Barnard was one of the first customers to sign up for IBM's "On Demand" scheme in which customers forget about buying computers and instead rent computing power from IBM, paying only for what they use, like a utility.
But, two years later, Barnard says IBM (nyse: IBM - news - people ) still can't make utility computing work, and he's frustrated.
"They're struggling. They're running behind schedule. We're only at 35% to 40% of where we wanted to be at this point. We still believe in On Demand, but it's taking a long time," says Barnard, who is chief information officer at Fluor (nyse: FLR - news - people ), a $9 billion engineering services company in Aliso Viejo, Calif. ¨
