IBM

IBM is a global technology based company that offers a wide array of tech based products and services. Some of these products include computer software, middleware and hardware and has also invented a number of famous machines like the ATM and the floppy disk. In 2019 IBM acquired RedHat which is the main distributor of Linux, an open source operating system. Currently, IBM has struggled with making progress on data analytics, social engagement, mobile devices and cloud computing which were some of former CEO Ginni Rometty top priorities. IBM has fallen in the Fortune 500 list every year for a decade now, so most at the company hope things will begin to turn around under the leadership of new CEO Arvind Krishna.
