The Founders

Charles R. Flint (left) was the original founder of CTR in which would be named IBM by Thomas J. Watson, Sr (right) in 1911.

When Watson, Sr. passed in 1956, his eldest son, Thomas J. Watson, Jr. (below) took over the company.

In the beginning1890-1911: 3 Major companies led to IBMThe Tabulating Machine Company founded by Herman Hollerith and led the way for collecting data through the use of his punch card data processing equipment in 1890. The building picture is from 1893.

CTR: Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company

Founded before IBM in 1911, CTR became the united company of the 3original companies.

Charles R. Flint sold the company to Watson, Sr. because of his declining health but continued to be a board member until his retirement in 1930.

Thomas J. Watson, Sr. took over CTR in 1911 and eagerly changed the companys name to IBM in 1924.

Credited for SuccessThomas J. Watson, Sr. is credited for the success in IBM for the founding leader, creator, and motivator.

THINK!Thomas J. Watson, Sr. created the THINK slogan which later became IBMs business motto.

Through his intuition and motivation, he inspiredemployees to THINK and always create.

The Open-Door Policy was created by Watson, Sr.to allow anyone access to express problems.

Progression of New BeginningsWith the help of Herman Holleriths punch card data machine in the 1890s, data could be collected faster than ever. SUCCESS! Used for 1900 Census saved government 2 years and $5M!

Recognizing Greatness1906- First tabulator with an automatic card feed made by Herman Hollerith incorporated later by IBM.

Can you believe this machine arranges data?

Moving Forward1920- CTR invents the first printing tabulator.

Space ExplorationIn the 1960s, IBM was heavily involved in Space. 1963: NASA tracked the orbital flight around Mercury with the help of IBMs technology1965- Started Gemini Flights1966- Saturn Flights1969- Final Mission to land on the Moon

Top 500Even in the very beginning, IBM has always been in the top categories

2005- acquired 28 companies for analytics and expertise

Connected to 20,000 business partners/companies

Obtained 100s of patents and is the largest company in the world for its patents in analytics

BEEP BEEP! RoadrunnerIn 2008, IBM constructed the fastest supercomputer in the entire world. 1.456 Petaflops on May 25, 2008quadrillion (thousand trillion) floating point operations per second (FLOPS) A thousand teraflops to measure processing speeds

Strategic Growth

Impacts on Growth

Accelerating Power

Impact of IBMOver the 100 years of IBMs existence, we have developed and refined a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to corporate citizenship that we believe aligns with IBMs values and maximizes the positive impact of which we, as a global enterprise, are capable.
