Ngexesha elithile, i-IBM yayiyinkokeli engenakuphikiswa kunye nebhenkmark kumashishini wekhompyutha. Xa i-Apple izama ukwenza indawo kwikhompyuter yakho, yayiyi-IBM eyayithelekiswa nayo.
Uthotho lweempazamo kulawulo zazibangela ukuba ilahleko yobunkokeli. I-Compaq kunye nabanye abenzi beekhompyuter kwiitshiphu zabo ezingabizi kakhulu bayikhupha kwikhompyuter yabo. Nangona babengoovulindlela bezixhobo eziphathwayo kunye neewotshi ezifanelekileyo, nOkanye babenombono kaGoogle kunye neApple kwaye inkampani yayisele ilile.
Bendilandela le umphuhlisi portal ukusuka kwi-IBM. Okungakumbi okanye ngaphantsi okoko bakhupha iLotus Simphony, inguqulelo ephuculweyo yeOpenOffice (kwixesha langaphambi kweLibreOffice) ngenkxaso yeLinux, ujongano olunesidima, kunye nesikhangeli. Ihlala ibamba ingqalelo yam yokuba ukuphucuka okunomdla okunje akunakubaguqula babe ziimveliso ezikhuphisanayo. Ngethamsanqa, oko kubonakala ngathi kuzokutshintsha njengoko abaphathi bazo bezimisele ukukuyeka.
Njengoko yaziwa njalo ngoLwesine odlulileyo, inkampani engaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka Ndigqibe kwelokuba ndirhole iinkonzo zekhompyuter zemveli ukugxila kumhlaba othembisayo wekhompyuter yelifu kunye nobukrelekrele bokuzenzela.
I-IBM ifike kade kule marike, icandelo apho iAmazon yayiphayona ngemveliso yayo yeAmazon Web Service ngo-2006 eyathi yangenelwa nguGoogle noMicrosoft, phakathi kwabanye abadlali.ii-nores, ezaye zajoyinwa yiWalMart enkulu. Ukwenza ixesha elilahlekileyo, inkampani yatyhala ukuphuhliswa kwesoftware yelifu kunye neenkonzo kwaye yathenga iRed Hat kwi2018. I-Red Hat ngomnye wabaphuhlisi abaphumeleleyo kunye nabasasazi besoftware evulekileyo kunye nezixhobo zelifu.
Ikamva le-IBM
Kudliwanondlebe, u-Ginni Rometty, u-CEO kunye ne-CEO ye-IBM, utshilo ilifu lekhompyuter, elonyuswe bubukrelekrele bokuzenzela, "ngoku liqonga lokugqibela le-IBM." Umlandeli wakhe u-Arvind Krishna, owaba yi-CEO kulo nyaka, ubize ukubhengezwa kwenkampani "njengosuku lwembali."
Ukuthetha inyani, ndiyazi Olu lutshintsho olungenakuphepheka kubaboneleli beenkonzo ze-IT. Uninzi lwesoftware entsha lwenziwe njengenkonzo yelifu, kwaye isasazwa kwi-Intanethi kumaziko wedatha ekude. Imodeli yekhompyuter yelifu inika abathengi benkampani ubhetyebhetye ngakumbi kunye nokonga iindleko. Iinkonzo zamafu zithengiswa njengenkonzo yokuhlawula njengoko usiya okanye ubhaliso lonyaka.
Utshintsho
Kule minyaka idlulileyo, i-IBM yazikhupha ekunciphiseni amashishini anenzuzo ukugxila kwiimveliso kunye neenkonzo ezinenzuzo. Yenza njalo umzekelo ngemigca yayo yeekhompyuter, iidiski eziqhuba kunye nokuveliswa kwe-chip.
Ukusukela ngoku ukuya phambili, eIshishini eliphambili liya kubandakanya ukusebenza kwalo kwilifu kunye nezixhobo zalo, isoftware kunye neenkonzo zokubonisana kwaye ziya kusebenza phantsi kwegama le-IBM. La mashishini avelisa malunga nekota ezintathu zengeniso yenkampani.
Kwelinye icala, inkampani ezimeleyo ethengisa esidlangalaleni iya kudalwa eya kuthi ibonelele ngeenkonzo zobugcisa bendabuko.Ukugcinwa, ukuxhaswa kunye nokuhlaziywa kwemisebenzi ye-IT kumawakawaka abaxhasi. Nangona iselishishini eliqhuba kakuhle ngokuthengisa malunga ne- $ 19 yezigidigidi ngonyaka, yimarike enomhla wokuphelelwa. Ngokwezinye iinguqulelo, inkampani entsha inokudityaniswa nale ikhoyo.
Ngale ndlela, inkampani izama ukuguqula iminyaka yokusebenza kakubi koqoqosho. Kunyaka ophelileyo, ingeniso yenkampani yehle iipesenti ezi-3 ukuya kwi-77 yezigidigidi. Kungenxa yokuba ukuphulukana nenzuzo yeenkonzo zemveli zitye iinzuzo ezifunyenwe yinkampani kwilifu nakubukrelekrele bokuzenzela.
I-IBM entsha iya kuba yinkampani encinci, kodwa ijolise. Ukuba uyifezekisile injongo yakho yokudibanisa ubuchwephesha bobugcisa kwilifu, siza kubona izinto ezinomdla kakhulu. Kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, yinkampani ebibheja kumthombo ovulekileyo kwakude kudala ngaphambi kokuba ibe lishishini.
