| History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation) | |
| International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) was incorporated in the State of New York on June 16, 1911, as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. (C-T-R), a consolidation of the Computing Scale Co. of America, the Tabulating Machine Co., and The International Time Recording Co. of New York. Since that time, IBM has focused on the intersection of business insight and technological invention, and its operations and aims have been international in nature. This was signaled 80 years ago, in 1924, when C-T-R changed its name to International Business Machines Corporation. And it continues today: IBM is the largest information technology company in the world, the world's largest business and technology services company, the world's largest consulting services organization, the world's largest information technology research organization, and the world's largest financier of information technology. Over the past decade, IBM has been a leader in the IT market's shift of focus from selling hardware, software, and services, to the creation of solutions to clients' business problems. During the early years of the Internet's entry into mainstream commerce, communications and business operations in the mid-to late-1990s, value was created first through providing widespread access and then through the integration of business processes, such as supply chain, customer relationships and human resources. Today, IBM is once again leading the industry toward the more fundamental, industry-specific transformations of on demand business. | |
