- International Business Machines, abreviada IBM y apodada "Azul Grande", es una corporación multinacional de tecnología informática y consultoría con sede en Armonk, Nueva York, Estados Unidos. La compañía es una de las pocas empresas de tecnología de la información con una historia continua que data desde el siglo XIX. IBM fabrica y comercializa tanto hardware como software, ofreciendo servicios de infraestructura, servicios de alojamiento, y servicios de consultoría, en áreas que van desde ordenadores centrales a nanotecnología. Arvind Krishna es el presidente y CEO de IBM. IBM por la mayor parte de su historia reciente ha sido conocida como una de las mayores empresas de informática del mundo e integradora de sistemas. Con más de 433.362 (2012) empleados en el mundo, IBM es una de las empresas de tecnología de información más grandes y rentables del mundo que generan más empleos. IBM posee más patentes que cualquier otra compañía de tecnología con sede en EE.UU. y cuenta con once laboratorios de investigación en todo el mundo. La empresa cuenta con científicos, ingenieros, consultores y profesionales de ventas en más de 170 países. Los empleados de IBM han ganado cinco Premios Nobel, cuatro premios Turing, cinco Medallas Nacionales de Tecnología, y cinco Medallas Nacionales de Ciencia. (es)
- International Business Machines (IBM), nicknamed "Big Blue", is a multinational computer technology and IT consulting corporation headquartered in Armonk, New York, United States. IBM originated from the unification of several companies that worked to automate routine business transactions, including the first companies to build punched card based data tabulating machines and to build time clocks. In 1911, these companies were amalgamated into the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR). Thomas J. Watson (1874–1956) joined the company in 1914 as General Manager, and became its President in 1915. In 1924, the company changed its name to "International Business Machines." IBM expanded into electric typewriters and other office machines. Watson was a salesman whose goal was to build a highly motivated, very well paid sales force that could craft solutions for clients unfamiliar with the latest technology. His motto was "THINK". Customers were advised to not "fold, spindle, or mutilate" the cardboard cards. IBM's first experiments with computers in the 1940s and 1950s were modest advances on the card-based system. Its breakthrough came in the 1960s with its System/360 family of mainframe computers. IBM offered a full range of hardware, software, and service agreements, so that users, as their needs grew, would stay with "Big Blue." Since most software was custom-written by in-house programmers and would run on only one brand of computers, it was expensive to switch brands. Brushing off clone makers, and facing down a federal anti-trust suit, the company sold reputation and security as well as hardware and was one of the most admired American corporations of the 1970s and 1980s. IBM struggled in the late 1980s to 1990s – losses in 1993 exceeded $8 billion – as the mainframe corporation failed to adjust quickly enough to the personal computer revolution. Desktop machines had the power needed and were easier for both users and managers than multi-million-dollar mainframes. IBM introduced a popular line of personal computers. Clone makers undersold IBM, while the profits went to chip manufacturers like Intel or software corporations like Microsoft. After a series of reorganizations, IBM remains one of the world's largest computer companies and systems integrators. With over 400,000 employees worldwide as of 2014, IBM holds more patents than any other U.S. based technology company and has twelve research laboratories worldwide. The company has scientists, engineers, consultants, and sales professionals in over 175 countries. IBM employees have earned five Nobel Prizes, four Turing Awards, five National Medals of Technology, and five National Medals of Science. (en)
