IBM公司

????1911年，三项看起来风马牛不相及的业务合并诞生了计算-制表-记录公司（Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company），蓝色巨人IBM开始了最早期的发展。时光飞逝，一百年过去了。2011年，IBM迎来了100周岁华诞。这一年，公司的年净利润达到创纪录的159亿美元，同比增长了7%。

????IBM的绝大部分利润来自金砖四国——巴西、俄罗斯、印度和中国。IBM在这些市场发展良好，商业分析、云计算和智慧星球的业务开展得有声有色。智慧星球是IBM正在进行的一项聪明项目，致力于解决现实世界的问题，全面涵盖了从交通拥堵到水资源管理在内的广泛领域。

IBM

????In 1911, Big Blue began with the merger of three disparate-seeming businesses to become the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company. Fast forward a century later, the company celebrated its 100th anniversary with record annual profit of $15.9 billion, a 7% year-over-year increase.

????Much of that came from healthy revenue growth in BRIC countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, and China -- business analytics, cloud services, and Smarter Planet, IBM's savvy ongoing campaign to solve real-world problems, from traffic congestion to water management.
