IBM can trace its roots back to 1911 when Charles Ranlett Flint merged 3 separate technology companies to form the Computing Tabulating Recording Company (CTR).
In 1924, the company was renamed to International Business Machines Corporation or IBM for short.
In 1952, Thomas J. Watson, Jr. succeeded his father as CEO of IBM.
In 1956, a computer was programmed to play checkers and learn from previous games. This is the first example of artificial intelligence.
In 1963, IBM headquarters was moved from NYC to Armonk, NY where it remains today.
In 1974, IBM engineer George Laurer developed the Universal Product Code or UPC system.
In 2005, IBM sold its personal computer business to Lenovo.
Today, IBM is one of the largest technology and consulting companies worldwide. The company has received the most accepted patents annually for the past 20 years.

IBM CEO/Ginni Rometty and Company,
Thank you for IBM standing up for Transgender people and telling our president so. I have an amazing Transgender grandson, and it worries me to death what hatred he could possibly endure. Thank you for having his back.
Sincerely,

Lisa Malone says
I have been run around the block by foreign representatives. I am trying to reach someone in HR to report a past incident I have lived with for many, many years. I’m sure it makes no difference to anyone but me, but it affected my life greatly and I just feel the need to make IBM aware. They won’t let me speak to HR and even demanded that I give them the name of the employees involved. I advised them it was a sensitive personal issue but that was not good enough. I am waiting to hear back from someone but if I don’t, I suppose I will have to make it public on a forum such as this. I just want someone to know, I just need to get it off my chest.

My now ex husband works in the San Jose Bailey rd office. He received is permanent green card via filing VAWA abuse clause thus avoiding doXXXXentation and interview
He works with cloud and security. This is a security risk. He claimed ibm never gave him a phone number. I’m working to petition the house and senate to address the loophole in the law. I’ve tried to contact HR to no avail All information he gave me was fake. Is this what IBM allows now. Data analytics security etc being done by someone with questionable moral character

Hello,
I took voluntary retirement Aug 1991 when I opted for a retirement benefits program which is now being managed by Fidelity under the umbrella of Employers program. I am now in India waiting to realize my fidelity NetBenefits funds. I have made a claim but they refuse to honor it. The funds came of age in Oct 2017. Can IBM help?

Charles Brogan says
I cannot believe I have spent the last 3 days on the phone being transferred from on person to another, and listening to many many songs. I have one question to ask and its like I’m asking about the moon, not a person has been able to answer me, except to transfer me to another party, just to get rid of me. I am an IBM Retiree, and my question is how much do I have in my TDSP acct. Which now I understand isn’t called that any more, its 401K, and they have traded investors not sure just how many times. This is getting to the point of being ridiculous. I would like to hear something from someone that is knowledgeable in this area. Charles J. Brogan SS# 284-28-XXXXX. Any other info. needed just let me know, thank you.

KENNETH P. SMITH says
I HAD A 30 YEAR CAREER WITH IBM FROM 1965-1995. MY EMPLOYEE I/D: 784518. SINCE MY RETIREMENT, MY MIND HAS RELIVED MANY OF THE EXPERIENCES, THE LOCATIONS I HAD WORKED (MECHANICSBURG/PA, MANASSAS/VA, AUSTIN/TX, FRANKLIN LAKES/NJ, WHITE PLAINS/NY) AND BACK TO MY HOME STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA BEFORE RETIRING.
I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GATHER THE INFORMATION I AM LOOKING FOR AND IT HASN’T BEEN AS EASY AS I THOUGHT. THEREFORE, I AM HIGHLIGHTING WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. IF THERE IS A SPECIFIC RETRIEVAL RATHER THAN DOING EXTENSIVE INQUIRES, I WOULD LIKE SOME COUNCIL. THE THREE THINGS REQUESTED ARE LISTED BELOW.
FIRST, I WAS A BRANCH OFFICE COORDINATOR FOR ALL COMPUTERS ON SITE FOR MANASSAS/VA AND AUSTIN/TX IN THE OP DIVISION. I KNOW THE MACHINES BY MACHINE NUMBER (IE: 0129 DATA RECORDER) THAT WERE INSTALLED AT EACH LOCATION. WHAT I AM TRYING TO DETERMINE WAS THE PLANT OF MANUFACTURE FOR EACH UNIT. MY LIST HAS APPROXIMATELY 125 MACHINES. NOTE: I WOULD GLADLY SEND A FILE FROM EXCEL AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE DATA. I DO NOT HAVE MODEL NUMBERS. THEREFORE, A SYSTEM/7, 5010 HAD MODELS A, B AND E…I AM LOOKING FOR APPROXIMATE NUMBERS FOR COST.
SECOND,I AM LOOKING FOR THE COST OF THOSE UNITS AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. THEREFORE, THE FINAL RETRIEVAL WOULD PROVIDE:
2314, MANUFACTURED: SAN JOSE, PRODUCT NAME: DISK DRIVER COST: $?,???.
THIRD, I HAVE SEEN INFORMATION ON JOINING THE GROUP OF RETIREES LOOKING FOR EACH OTHER ON LINKED IN. YOU SAW THE LOCATIONS I HAD WORKED AND I WOULD LIKE TO ENROLL. I AM ALREADY ON LINKED IN. I HAVE BEEN TO MANY SERVICES FOR COWORKERS FROM THE MECHANICSBURG PLANT. THE MANAGERS I HAD IN 1965 WERE THE AGE OF MY FATHER AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 90 THIS YEAR.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE,
KEN SMITH

Dear Sir or madam,
As an IBM retiree since 2002, I receive mail pertaining to changes concerning benefits for retirees or other recipients.
During October 2013, I received information regarding a revision in medical benefits for year 2014 through Extend Health Medical coverage and Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA).
The memo stated that if I choose not to participate in 2014, I can decide to enroll for 2015.
Upon receiving the IBM October 2014 information on enrolling for 2015, I decided to look into the coverage.
I did notice one of Extend Health’s choices provides the identical medical plan I have been utilizing for the past 10 years.
Extend Health advised me to contact the IBM Employee Service Center, which I did.
It was very frustrating to learn that since I did not participate in IBM medical in the past, I was not eligible for IBM medical. Apparently a rule I was not aware of.
I was told the information I received was mass mailed to every IBM Ex or current employee.
It seems to me that by adding one line within medical benefits mailings, mentioning the fact that “If you previously opted out of IBM medical, disregard this mailing” would have prevented me from wasting my time and that of others in calling IBM as well as Extend Health and inputting necessary related health requirements for my wife and me on their database site.
FYI, I did not previously participate in IBM medical as it was not affordable on my pension.
Sincerely,
Marcel Szpiro

Good morning IBM Representative,
I received an employment opportunity via email offered from Infinite Computer Solutions. As I would welcome the opportunity to work for IBM as a Paralegal, I am unsure if this particular Paralegal opportunity is legitimate or if it is in fact a scam.
Please confirm at your earliest convenience if IBM is now offering global off-site employment opportunities through this staffing organization.
Thank you kindly for your time and attention to my concern.
With warm regards,
