Some thoughts on collaborative innovation.

Our goal is to achieve total customer satisfaction, and each one of us at IBM isdedicated to doing what it takes to make this goal a reality.

Environmental records:

IBM has a long history of dealing with its environmental problems. It established a corporatepolicy on environmental protection in 1971, with the support of a comprehensive globalenvironmental management system. According to IBMs stats, its total hazardous wastedecreased by 44% over the past five years, and has decreased by 94.6% since 1987. IBM's totalhazardous waste calculation consists of waste from both non-manufacturing and manufacturingoperations. Waste from manufacturing operations includes waste recycled in closed-loopsystems where process chemicals are recovered and for subsequent reuse, rather than justdisposing and using new chemical materials. Over the years, IBM has redesigned processes toeliminate almost all closed loop recycling and now uses more environmental-friendly materials

in their place.

gain valuable insights to optimize your business International Business Machines Corporation,abbreviated IBM and nicknamed "Big Blue" (for its official color), is a multinationalcomputertechnology and consultingcorporation headquartered inNew York, and United States. Thecompany is one of the few information technology companies which manufactures and sells

computerhardware and software, and offers infrastructure services, hosting services, andconsulting services in areas ranging from mainframe computers to higher networking technology.In the 1950s, IBM became the dominant vendor in the emerging computerindustry with therelease of the IBM and other models in the IBM series ofmainframes. The company'sdominance became even more pronounced in the 1960s and 1970s with the IBM System/360 andIBM System/370 mainframes, however antitrust actions by the United States Department ofJustice, the rise ofminicomputercompanies like Digital Equipment Corporation and DataGeneral, and the introduction of the microprocessorall contributed to dilution of IBM's positionin the industry, eventually leading the company to diversify into other areas including personal

computers, software, and services.

Aims and Objective;IBM leads in the creation, development, and manufacture of the industrys most advanced

information technologies, including computer system, software, networking technology, dataware house and microelectronics.IBM translates these technologies into values for our customers through our professionalsolutions and services worldwide.

Motivation:In order to stay focused and enhance the responsiveness in the On Demand Era, enterpriseapplications are increasingly modeled after the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). In SOAthe enterprise applications are implemented as services that are composed of multiple serviceendpoints.

Mobile Services Framework Features:

The various features supported by MoSeF are briefed in this section categorized asfollows: -Service Mobility PrimitivesMessaging PrimitivesData VirtualizationService Location Transparency

Developer work according to MIS:Developer Works is a website run by IBM forsoftware developers and IT professionals. Itcontains a large number of articles and tutorials, as well as software downloads and codesamples, discussion forums, , blogs, wikis, and other resources for developers and technical

professionals. IBM Subjects range from standard technologies like Java, Linux, and webservices, web development, and XML to IBM's products (Rational, Lotus, Tivoli).

Alpha work:Alpha Works is IBM's source for emerging software technologies. These technologies include:

Flexible Internet Evaluation Report Architecture.

IBM Linux on POWER Performance Simulator.

Database File Archive and Restoration Management.

Policy Management for Autonomic Computing.

Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) SDK.

Accessibility Browser.

Our work force:Competitive advantage today comes from expertise and expertise is not static. IBM has theworlds deepest, most diverse collection of business and technology innovators, supported byadvanced collaboration systems and a culture that enables continuous learning.Our business operations and employee base are global; so is our commitment to diversity. We

recognize that as one of the worlds leading institutions, IBM sets an example. And through ourcommitment and leadership on diversity-related issues, we know we are making a difference.

Corporate culture of IBM:Big Blue is a nickname for IBM; several theories exist regarding its origin. Onetheory, substantiated by people who worked for IBM at the time, is that IBM fieldreps coined the term in the 1960s, referring to the color of the mainframes IBMinstalled in the 1960s and early 1970s. "All blue" was a term used to describe a loyalIBM customer, and business writers later picked up the term. Another theory suggests

that Big Blue simply refers to the Company's logo. A third theory suggests that BigBlue refers to a former company dress code that required many IBM employees towear only white shirts and many wore blue suits. In any event, IBM keyboards,typewriters, and some other manufactured devices, have played on the "Big Blue"concept, using the color for enter keys and carriage returns.

Our Management System :Optimizing a global on demand enterprise means adapting continually to rapidchange while integrating thousands of processes and managing millions

of relationships every day

Our Economics :Based on todays opportunities and our strengthened ability to capitalize on them, asdescribed throughout this document, we believe IBM can generate consistently highreturns on invested capital and increased shareholder value.

Innovation:Although IBM began life as a maker of clocks, scales, electromechanical tabulatorsand other industrial equipment, it has never defined itself in terms of particular

products or technologies. Even when the company emerged as a leader incomputation, it was constantly developing new kinds of computational technologyand new ways of applying it from automating the new U.S. Social Security system

IBM company values and JAM:

In July and September 2006, Palmisano launched another jam called Innovation Jam. InnovationJam was the largest online brainstorming session ever with more than 150,000 participants from104 countries. The participants were IBM employees, members of IBM employees' families,universities, partners, and customers. Innovation Jam was divided in two sessions (one in July andone in September) for 72 hours each and generated more than 46,000 ideas. In November 2006,IBM declared that they will invest $US 100 million in the 10 best ideas from Innovation Jam.

Manufacturing of IBM:Virtually all modern console gaming systems use microprocessors developed by IBM. The Xbox360 contains the Xenon tri-core processor, which was designed and produced by IBM in lessthan 24 months. Sonys PlayStation 3 features the Cell BE microprocessordesigned jointly byIBM, Toshiba, and Sony.Nintendo's 7G (seventh generation) console. The olderNintendo GameCube utilizes the Gekko processor, also designed by IBM.

Diversity and workforce issues:

On September 21, 1953, Thomas J. Watson, the CEO at the time, sent out acontroversial letter to all IBM employees stating that IBM needed to hire the best

people, regardless of their race, ethnic origin, or gender. In 1984, IBM added sexualpreference. He stated that this would give IBM a competitive advantage because IBMwould then be able to hire talented people its competitors would turn down. Thecompany has traditionally resisted labor union organizing, although unions representsome IBM workers outside the United States. In the 1990s, two majorpension

program changes, including a conversion to a cash balance plan, resulted in anemployee class action lawsuit alleging age discrimination. IBM employees won thelawsuit and arrived at a partial settlement, although appeals are still underway. IBMalso settled a major overtime class-action lawsuit in 2006.

business performance management:

Using IBM middleware such as WebSphere, as well as business analytics, companiescan embed their processes with software triggers that automatically monitor what ishappening in the business and correlate that to external information, to enable betterreal-time decision making.

Award winning learning programs:In 2004, IBM was ranked first in Training magazines Training Top 100 for outstandinglearning programs. The company has received more than 30 awards and commendations fromsuch bodies as the International Society for Performance Improvement and the American Societyfor Training and Development.
