IBM News and IBMA QCC News
There comes a time when every enterprise must ask itself: What difference have we made? What impact have we had on the world? What have we changed? In 2011, IBM reflects on 100 years of innovation, bold risks and transformative breakthroughs. We celebrate the big wins—and the mistakes we've overcome. We renew our purpose, unite in our legacy and define our aspirations for the future. Welcome to IBM at 100. More, including:

IBMers from the 1970s IBM Mainframes - 45 Years of Evolution Jim Elliott, Consulting Sales Specialist - System z, IBM Canada, has produced a fascinating
account of the
evolution of IBM Mainframes over the years. It resides on his web site as a pdf
document which you can download here.
To quote his summary: John Harvey, a fellow Quarter Century Club member, has
recently published a book, "Transition - the IBM story", which traces
the move of IBM from Australia's leading exporter of elaborately
transformed manufactured goods in the 1990's to becoming Australia's
largest exporter of IT services today. It is a collection of
chapters provided by different people on the transition
IBM Australia went through from a hardware company to a services
company. 5 Dec 2008 On behalf of the IBM Quarter Century Club, congratulations on
reaching 45 Years with IBM. Congratulations 20 Feb 2008 Slavko Malesevic celebrates 40 years

Slavko Malesevic joined IBM. 40 years in IBM is a major achievement
attained by only a few. Congratulations Slavco.
With
Maurice's passing we have lost a major connection to the establishment
of the IBM Quarter Century Club. No one will surpass Maurice's service
to the QCC. He qualified for the QCC in 1966. He attended the first ever
meeting of the QCC and joined the committee created at that meeting. He
stayed involved with the QCC for the next 41 years.
Maurice's contributions were many. The most well-known being the annual
weekend away. Maurice planned the event, vetted the facilities and
organised the component functions for this event for a number of years.
We still follow the format he established and it is only in the last
few years that Maurice handed over the organisation into the capable
hands of Connie and Clyde Lee and Geoff Nash.
Maurice had kidney problems for the last 12 months. Prior to this
period he was very active in the QCC, starring as a panellist at the QCC
40th Anniversary Annual General Meeting and receiving an award for his
40 years of service to the QCC at the 2006 Annual Dinner from the IBM
ANZ CEO, Glen Boreham (pictured).
Maurice received an OAM in 2006 for his services to charities.
We will miss Maurice, his advice, guidance and experience plus his
contributions to the discussions at our meetings.
20 Dec 2007 The following IBMers/QCC Members have been recognised in
the 2007 Australia Day Honours for services to the community.
There may be others but these three have come to our
attention. If you know of others, please send an
email to the webmaster. Alexander Lawton Taylor 19 Feb 2007 |
