Overview

Big Blue? Try Huge Blue. International Business Machines (IBM) is the world's top provider of computer products and services. Among the leaders in almost every market in which it competes, the company focuses primarily on its growing services business which accounts for more than half of sales. Though perhaps still best known for its hardware, its IT and business services units are among the largest in the world and serve customers across most industries. IBM is also one of the largest providers of both business software (ranking #2, behind Microsoft) and semiconductors. The company's computing hardware legacy lives on in the form of its industry-leading enterprise server and storage products lines.
