IBM公司

????1911年，三項看起來風馬牛不相及的業(yè)務合并誕生了計算-制表-記錄公司（Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company），藍色巨人IBM開始了最早期的發(fā)展。時光飛逝，一百年過去了。2011年，IBM迎來了100周歲華誕。這一年，公司的年凈利潤達到創(chuàng)紀錄的159億美元，同比增長了7%。

????IBM的絕大部分利潤來自金磚四國——巴西、俄羅斯、印度和中國。IBM在這些市場發(fā)展良好，商業(yè)分析、云計算和智慧星球的業(yè)務開展得有聲有色。智慧星球是IBM正在進行的一項聰明項目，致力于解決現(xiàn)實世界的問題，全面涵蓋了從交通擁堵到水資源管理在內的廣泛領域。

IBM

????In 1911, Big Blue began with the merger of three disparate-seeming businesses to become the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company. Fast forward a century later, the company celebrated its 100th anniversary with record annual profit of $15.9 billion, a 7% year-over-year increase.

????Much of that came from healthy revenue growth in BRIC countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, and China -- business analytics, cloud services, and Smarter Planet, IBM's savvy ongoing campaign to solve real-world problems, from traffic congestion to water management.
