How does IBM make money?

• MatthewPhillips 15y ago
  Selling really expensive things to people with really big budgets.

  Enterprise sales, consulting, services. Mainframes still make up a large chunk of their revenue. Perhaps research/patents? They aren't really that consumer facing anymore, I guess that explains their ads on TV to keep their name out there.

    They also sell Enterprise Software (DB2, FileNet, Lotus, Rational, and a lot more). The ads may be for their stock (indirectly) as much as for their products
