International Business Machines Corporation – known as IBM – was founded in 1911 , as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company in New York . Many decades earlier , Charles Babbage had designed the first successful automatic calculator and years later , the first commercially successful computer , the Altair , was sold . IBM ’ s first products arrived right in the middle of these events .
In 1981 , the IBM Model 5150 arrived for small business owners . IBM also created the fondly remembered , but now long defunct floppy disk and the chess-playing system Deep Blue .
In 1992 , IBM branched out into consulting . The company remains headquartered in New York and has a revenue of US $ 57.4bn .
