1914: New to the CTR - Thomas J. Watson Sr., in 1924 the company gave its name to IBM.
Watson was assigned when he joined the CTR a unique role: the different interests of the motley group company to consolidate. The tension has acted in the Watson, was loaded from Flint, the Group hobbyists, Hollerith, inventor of the idiosyncratic, and George W. Fairchild, providing the capital. Watson broke away from this conflict of interest by total concentration on the sale of punch-card systems, the services provided in 1924 some 25 percent of sales.
When Watson started in 1914 sales, there was already a competitor that better equipment sold cheaper. The Powers Company offered products that had unique advantages: automatic result print works and electric punch. During this fact-minded Hollerith ignored, Watson established the first crash program under the title "Department of demands of the future". Behind it hid nothing else than the competing product disassemble, analyze, and improve.
