it, is about much more than that. This next decade is about how you combine those and
become a cognitive business. Its the dawn of a new era.

IBMs Transformation
IBM entered this economic period from a position of strength because of the changes weve made to
our business. Today IBM operates in more than 170 countries, has approximately 400,000
employees, and recorded $103.6 billion in revenue in 2008. IBM is very different from what it was
10or even fiveyears ago.

1. Among the most important drivers of IBMs transformation has been an increasing clarity and focus in
our business strategy and in our values-based culture to support that strategy.

2. Our mix of technologies and businesses is significantly different.

o We remixed our portfolio toward services, software and solutions.

o We invested more than $50B in R&D and acquired more than 100 companies from 20002008.
3. We have transformed our processes and the way we run the company.

o A major part of this shift has been to build a 21st century workforce.
o Hired more than 250,000 new employees in the past five years.
o Increased learning opportunities.
o And improved our ability to effectively deploy the expert skills of IBMers.
The Professional Marketplace: An application used to quickly deploy talent to clients, organizes the work
history and skills of IBMers into 8,100 specialized skill sets that include 17 industries and areas of expertise
from business intelligence and analytics to virtualization and green solutions. The application also contains
languages spoken, visa, status and availability.

4. And our financial results demonstrate the impact of this transformation.

o 2008 revenue was a record $103.6 billion, up five percent, and we delivered a pre-tax margin of 16.1
percent, four points above our results in 2000.
