When you think of IBM, what comes to mind? Computers? Good employment?
Those cute e-business commercials? All of that is IBM, but did you
know IBM is also Nintendo video games, AT&T communications,
Sony digital music, and so much more?
IBM is not a company that just works for itself. One of its goals is to
provide the consumer the best in technological advances and products.
IBM does so well in this goal that it catches the eye of other companies,
allowing IBM to combine its technological experience with another company's
new product idea. The result is a new and innovative product that
accurately displays the future of IBM and its partner.
Thanks to IBM and The GRAMMYs, web users were allowed to chat with
Monica and other musical artists before the 41st Annual GRAMMY Awards
in 1999. Thanks to IBM and Little Tikes, children will be able to
combine education, entertainment, and technology with the creation of
the Young Explorer fun and learning center. Thanks to IBM and
Nintendo, video game fans will be able to enjoy computer-like
graphics and feel on Nintendo's next home system with the IBM 400MHz
Copper Processor, set for the year 2000 holiday season. These
are clear examples that IBM's involvement with other companies' plans
can make for some outstanding results.
This is just the beginning. You never know where IBM will turn up
next.
That is why IBM & Co. will keep track of the current agreements
IBM makes with other companies to create new and better products for
you. Each alliance between IBM and another company will have its
own web site on IBM & Co. These sites will contain press releases, factoids, release
dates of final products, and information about the company working with
IBM. This gives you the opportunity to see what wonders occur when IBM
gets involved outside its own borders. Your comments and feedback
will help bring more information to this site, and
may even help IBM choose the company to collaborate with next.
Navigate through the various sites of IBM & Co. and configure the
equation that IBM plus another company working together equals wonderful
products and great business.
