IBM

IBM is an IT technology and consulting firm providing computer hardware, software, infrastructure, and hosting services.

The American multinational technology corporation known as IBM, or International Business Machines, affectionately nicknamed "Big Blue," has its headquarters nestled in Armonk, New York, and boasts a formidable presence across more than 175 countries. IBM is a distinguished entity renowned for its expertise in computer hardware, middleware, and software, and its capacity to deliver hosting and consulting services that span an extensive spectrum, from mainframe computers to the realms of nanotechnology.

This technological titan stands as the world's largest industrial research organisation, maintaining an impressive network of 19 research facilities dispersed across a dozen nations. IBM's acclaim extends further, as it proudly held the prestigious record for the most annual U.S. patents generated by a single business for an uninterrupted 29-year period, reigning supreme from 1993 through 2021.

IBM's inception dates back to 1911 when it was established as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR), primarily functioning as a holding company for manufacturers specialising in record-keeping and measuring systems. In 1924, it underwent a transformation, adopting the name "International Business Machines." Over the years, IBM evolved into a trailblazer in numerous cutting-edge technologies, such as electric typewriters, electromechanical calculators, and personal computers. During the 1960s and 1970s, IBM's System/360 mainframe computers reigned supreme, capturing a lion's share of the market, with 80 per cent of computers in the U.S. and 70 per cent globally bearing the IBM brand.
