IBM announced its third quarter of 2014 earnings on the 20th, with its net profit of $18 million in the third quarter, down 99.6% year on year.
It can be seen that IBM is at risk.
Sun, a technical expert, was shut down by mergers and acquisitions. It illustrates some truth that the technology companies that are stuck on their own may have come to their heads. Sun once achieved brilliant results by using minicomputers, but the PC server's computing speed has been greatly improved, and minicomputers have come to the fore. Sun has many excellent technologies, such as Java and ZFS. But the operating system solaries is not very successful, and the open source still cannot change the fate.
What is the rest of IBM? Mainframe? Just like the rise of sinox matrix computers in hanao, is there a way to survive the mainframe? I sold my PC and then I sold my servers. Why is IBM not doing anything? In four months, the profits fell by 99.6%, and none of them fell.
It can only be said that the world is changing too fast. In the past, people used to make money by playing game plug-ins. Now they seem to have no money to make money? Why? The market is gone.
Microsoft still relies on Windows and Office to make money. Once sinox rises in hanao, the Chinese market will be exhausted, not far from collapse. Bill Gates once said that Microsoft was only 18 months away from collapse.
I think all these changes are so fast, mainly because new technologies are changing with each passing day. Open source has greatly accelerated this process, and even small companies can rise.
New Internet media, as a new marketing platform, may not need to build a large marketing team. Excellent and advanced things may spread throughout the world overnight.
IBM has never done anything wrong, but the world has changed! For example, the mainframe market begins to end.
In fact, each company has its own advantages and restrictions, which may not be exceeded. For example, Bill Gates made a very successful WINXP, but did not do a good job of Vista, it means that he has reached his own vertex, WINXP is its highest height, so he left, no one's height is infinite, and everyone has their own limitations. Success or failure. Microsoft's highest point is WINXP, and there is no higher product. Sun is a minicomputer and cannot be a PC. Do you see Sun's PC? What is the case when IBM is doing a good job of mainframe, but not a good job of PC and PC servers? It may be accustomed to the high profits of the mainframe, not the small profits of the PC.
The highest point of sinox in hanao is matrix computers, but it does not involve cloud computing. When Matrix computers are no longer brilliant, Sino-Australian sinox may be at the end.
Everything develops and repeats in a cyclical manner. No company is always brilliant. The Times are changing. As the elders of the company, they have not followed the times and may not be willing to change.
Where have they gone now?
The glory of Huawei does not know how long it will take. Nokia has been around for a while.
Will the blue giant IBM become the next Nokia?
Dr. Wen shares his speech at on August 14, October 25 with IBM's blue giant Nokia classified as Internet
Abstract: What happened to the blue giant IBM? This is a question asked by Warren Buffett and many investors who suffered heavy losses due to the sharp drop in IBM's share price. Investors who approve of IBM lost their imagination and turned into a financial company that manipulated the stock price. IBM missed one step and may encounter Nokia or Kodak's situation. "Nothing wrong, but the world has changed ".
IBM announced its third quarter of 2014 earnings on the 20th, with its net profit of $18 million in the third quarter, down 99.6% year on year. IBM's share price fell by 7.1% in the day's transaction, hitting a new low since September 2011, with Buffett's book loss of more than $1 billion as IBM's largest shareholder. IBM's software and services are facing the impact of more flexible small companies in the cloud service era. As a bloated giant of organizations, can IBM keep up with the trend of the times? Will IBM become the next Nokia?
The biggest crisis for IBM is that the change is not fast enough for investors to approve of the loss of imagination.
IBM is about to collapse. Microsoft is 18 months away from collapse.
