IBM News
IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) is a multinational technology and consulting company headquartered in Armonk, New York. Founded in 1911 as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR), IBM has evolved from manufacturing mechanical time clocks and weighing scales to becoming a leader in the fields of computer hardware, software, and IT services. It played a pivotal role in the development of the personal computer in the 1980s and has since shifted its focus towards more complex and profitable sectors such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data analytics. IBM is also well-known for its significant contributions to the development of the SQL programming language, the invention of the ATM, and the floppy disk. Today, the company invests heavily in innovative technologies like quantum computing and blockchain, continuing its legacy as a major contributor to the tech industry. Its extensive patent portfolio often puts it at the top of the list of companies with the most U.S. patents granted annually.
