• IBM is aligned around a single, focused business
  model innovation. IBM takes its breadth and
  depth of insight on issues, processes and
  operations across a variety of industries, and
  invents and applies technology to help solve its
  clients' most intractable business and
  competitive problems. Although we remain
  committed, as ever, to lead the development of
  state-of-the-art technologies, and the products
  and service offerings built around them, we
  measure ourselves today by how well we help
  clients solve their biggest and most pressing
  problems.
