International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is a global technology leader that focuses on providing integrated software, consulting, and infrastructure solutions for large enterprises and governments. Headquartered in Armonk, New York, and founded in 1911, the company has transitioned from its historical roots in hardware manufacturing to a strategy centered on hybrid cloud and generative artificial intelligence. IBM’s business model is structured around three primary segments: Software, which includes Red Hat and the watsonx AI platform; Consulting, which assists clients with digital transformation and AI deployment; and Infrastructure, which features its signature IBM Z mainframes. The company leverages an "AI Operating Model" to help organizations integrate AI agents, real-time data, and governance into mission-critical workflows, while also maintaining a significant research focus on emerging technologies like quantum computing. IBM prioritizes a recurring revenue model through software subscriptions and high-value advisory services to support complex, secure, and regulated IT environments across 175 countries.
