IBM is transforming its organization into more of a services and advisory firm. Over the past four years, they’ve spent more than forty billion dollars in mergers and acquisitions; this doesn’t include the thirty-four-billion-dollar acquisition of RedHat. They’re also the leader when it comes to patents, with the highest amount in the U.S. for the 26th consecutive year. Fifty percent of these patents are in new exponential technologies (AI, Cloud, Blockchain, Cybersecurity, etc.).
