Welcome to the IBM Academy of Technology. As Academy President, I get to
oversee an organization consisting of approximately 300 of IBM's leading
technologists.
The Academy is a unique entity. To my knowledge, no other technology company
supports the operation of an independent body that defines its own technical
agenda, conducts studies, topical conferences and consultancies. With 329,000
employees, the Academy brings a valuable perspective that crosses geographies,
markets, technical disciplines, and IBM business units, often identifying key
trends and developing important insights well in advance of their impact
in the marketplace.
The Academy's technical agenda covers an incredible breadth, from the depths
of our microelectronics technology, through the impact and application
of services oriented architecture, to a workshop with the Chinese
Academy of Sciences.
