We are certainly encouraged by IBM’s recent performance in a
tough economy and by our future growth prospects. But what gives
us even more hope for the future is the way companies, leaders and
institutions of all kinds are coming to share in a highly promising
consensus about the direction
—
and the very nature
—
of business.
About the potential of technology for integration, not just automation.
About the power of innovation that combines invention and insight.
About the links among openness, standards and trust.
Sometimes, consensus is driven by reaction and fear. But at other times,
it’s fueled by hope. This is one of those times. Which is very good news,
both for IBM and for a new era of global business growth.
So, while it’s certainly nice to be a company that’s doing well…
it’s even nicer to be doing so in such good company.
As we look at the world of business
today
—
including our clients and their
industries
—
we like what we see.
Even better, we like what they see.
