2. 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.

3. In the beginning…
 1890-1911: 3 Major companies led to IBM
 The 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.
 The International Time Recording
 Company (left) in 1900 Endicott, NY.

 The Computing Scale Company
 (right) founded in Dayton, Ohio in
 1901.

4. CTR: Computing-Tabulating-Recording
Company
• Founded before IBM in 1911, CTR became the united company of the 3
original 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
company’s name to IBM in 1924.

5. Credited for Success
 Thomas J. Watson, Sr. is credited for the success in
IBM for the founding leader, creator, and motivator.

6. THINK!
 Thomas J. Watson, Sr. created the THINK slogan
which later became IBM’s business motto.
Through his intuition and motivation, he inspired
employees to THINK and always create.
The Open-Door Policy was created by Watson, Sr.
to allow anyone access to express problems.

7. Progression of New Beginnings
 With the help of Herman Hollerith’s 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!

8. Recognizing Greatness…
 1906- First tabulator with an automatic card feed
made by Herman Hollerith incorporated later by IBM.
Can you
believe this
machine
arranges data?

9. Moving Forward…
 1920- CTR invents the first printing tabulator.

10. The Tabulating Machine

11. Accomplishments
 1934- IBM 801-803 Bank Proof Machine
 1952- Disk drives
 1954- IBM teamed up with MIT to continue research
where the first real-time digital computer would be
made.
Clear bank checks and record totals

12. And there’s more…
 1948- IBM SSEC (Selective Sequence Electronic
Calculator) large scale digital calculator invented.
ASCC (right) Automatic Sequence
Controlled Calculator 1944.
Weighed 10,000lbs!

13. Recognition Throughout the Years
 IBM’s largest recognition was through the contract
with the US government which allowed for military
involvement.

NORC: Naval Ordinance
Research Computer
Fastest, most powerful
electronic computer in 1958
SAGE-Semi-Automatic Ground Environment
Networking equipment to coordinate data:
Radar------to-----image of airspace! 1954

14. The List Continues
 1954- IBM 650: Most popular computer in
the 1950s.
 1956- 1st magnetic hand disk for data
storage.
 1959- IBM 1401: 1st high volume core
memory transistorized computer.

15. In this generation…
 1971- The 1st Floppy Disk!
 1981- IBM creates one of
the first PC’s:
 128-256kb memory
 1-2 floppy disk inserts
 Optional color monitor
 $1,565

16. What IBM Contributes
 IBM continues to:
 Manufactures software, mainframes, and focuses
business on international companies
 Software:
 Lotus Domino
 Reliable, security with e-mails, calendars, business
collaboration
 IBM Graphical Data Display Manager (GDDM)
 IBM Tivoli Access Manager (TAM)
Both offer solutions for operating systems

17. Contributions
 IBM 6240- 1977 Magnetic card typewriter
 IBM 801- 1980 prototype
RISC processor
 IBM 3268- Dot matrix
printer

18. Space Exploration
 In the 1960s, IBM was heavily involved in Space.
 1963: NASA tracked the orbital flight around Mercury with
the help of IBM’s technology
 1965- Started Gemini Flights
 1966- Saturn Flights
 1969- Final Mission to land on the Moon

19. Top 500
 Even 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

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

21. Strategic Growth

22. Impacts on Growth

23. Accelerating Power

25. Impact of IBM
“Over the 100 years of IBM’s existence, we have developed and refined
a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to corporate citizenship
that we believe aligns with IBM’s values and maximizes the positive
impact of which we, as a global enterprise, are capable.”
Chairwoman, President and CEO of IBM
