A big thank you to all of our customers.
Since our founding day on June 16th, IBM and its customers have been in the business of collecting, quantifying, and analyzing information to transform industries and society. While our business has evolved over the years—from time recording clocks and computing scales to cloud, data, and AI software and solutions—sharing the success of YOU, our customers, has remained a constant.
Join us this week in a celebration of the IBM Cloud customers—spanning industries from finance to healthcare to media—who are powering the next generation of progress.
