International Business Machines CorporationIBM
Information Technology

Combines Red Hat hybrid-cloud software, watsonx and Confluent data and AI tools, HashiCorp automation, transaction-processing products, technology consulting, and IBM Z, Power, and storage systems. Revenue comes from software, services, hardware, support, and financing, anchored in large organizations' mission-critical workloads and technology budgets.

Provides enterprise software, consulting, infrastructure, and financing through four reportable segments. Software spans Red Hat hybrid cloud, HashiCorp automation, watsonx and Confluent data and AI tools, and transaction-processing products. Consulting combines strategy and technology services with intelligent operations, while Infrastructure supplies IBM Z mainframes, Power servers, storage, and lifecycle support.

Serves enterprises and public-sector organizations across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, linking its own products with partner platforms to modernize and operate critical workloads across on-premises and cloud environments. Long-lived mainframe installations and software and support contracts anchor customer relationships, while demand remains tied to enterprise technology budgets, hardware product cycles, specialized talent, suppliers, and the integration of acquired businesses.
