IBM: Can It Revivify Itself?
April 9, 2018
IBM has been struggling to keep up in a fight with Microsoft, Amazon, Google and other tech giants more suited for twenty-first century commerce. Another bold move by the company recently got it into a ton of hot water, as we discovered from a recent 24/7 Wall Street story, “IBM Hit With Massive Age Discrimination Charges, Undermining CEO Rometty.”
According to the story:
“The news once again will raise the question about the tenure of CEO Ginni Rometty, who has presided over the demise of IBM. The company has suffered quarter after quarter of falling revenue. She has tried unsuccessfully to make IBM a leader in cloud computing. In the meantime, its older software, services and hardware businesses have suffered.”
This is a major setback for IBM atop some other unsavory setbacks. A recent story said that as the company aims to positing its enterprise search for the future, it is acting as its own worst enemy in the planning stages. That seems to be the case we see over and over with IBM, they can’t seem to get out of their own way with this disgraceful age discrimination case or with the general day-to-day, it does not seem unlikely that the behemoth will someday get absorbed into a larger competitor. But who remains a question.
Perhaps IBM can pose that question to Watson? Well, maybe not?
