		abutler on July 23, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Compose Is Joining IBM IBM is no longer just focused on enterprise and government. There's a big focus now on startups. Take a look at the Bluemix Garage where there's IBM engineers embedded in Galvanize in SF to work with startups but also help enterprises bridge the gap and learn from them; and also look at digital.nyc and tech.london. Both are IBM initiatives. So... IBM today isn't like the IBM that most people imagine and I am sure that the IBM of tomorrow will be completely different. You don't get to be over 100 years old and a tech company unless you can reinvent yourself to stay relevant.

That is what I was trying to say, I was just responding to what I think HN crowd's perception is of IBM, which I think is not accurate.

I think it is really great to see a company of their size and age change course and adapt.
