IBM needs no introduction to any segment of the technology estate : we speak to GMD , CTO and VP Bridget Karlin
When IBM appeared in 1911 , 13 years later adopting the name International Business Machines , it was already a pioneer in automation , developing machines that made calculating , tabulating , measuring – and the like – faster and less labor-intensive . In some fundamental ways , its relationship with business has been consistent . Throughout the growth of computing , the internet , and now digitization , migration to the cloud , AI , blockchain and quantum computing , it has continued to lead , partner and innovate , leveraging possibilities and pushing the envelope .
Engineered solutions are still IBM ' s stockin-trade , even if these solutions are very different in nature from the mechanical advances of a century ago . The faster the industry changes , the more exciting it gets , says Bridget Karlin , Global Managing Director , CTO and VP at IBM . “ IBM is an innovator and continues to lead the industry in new patent inventions . AI , analytics , blockchain , cloud and advanced computing are all technologies that emerged from deep investment in our talent and R & D .” One thing that ' s very important to a CEO or CIO today is the speed of delivering the value of innovation out to their customers : IBM helps them do this .
