IBM reorganized its Personal Computer business.
The Armonk, N.Y.-based giant said the realignment was made “to increase its focus on new products, customer support and growth opportunities.” Three functions--dealer sales, support and operations--are being transferred from the Entry Systems division to the National Distribution division. The marketing function for IBM’s PC will continue to be an Entry Systems responsibility. The National Distribution division sells a broad range of products through a variety of reseller channels. Under the realignment, it assumes sales, support, and service responsibility for more than 2,000 authorized IBM Personal Computer dealers.
