Tech major IBM lays off 3,900 employees after missing annual target

With the firing of 3,900 workers on Wednesday, IBM Corp. joined the "layoff campaign" alongside other tech companies. According to the IT hub, the asset divestments included a layoff campaign. The company failed its yearly cash target, which has dimmed the excitement over exceeding revenue projections in the fourth quarter. Chief Financial Officer James Kavanaugh said with Reutersthe, the company was still dedicated to hiring new employee for client-facing research and development. In an official statement, IBM claimed that the layoffs were associated to the separation of its Kyndryl company and a portion of Watson Health, its AI division. According to IBM Corp., the layoffs will result in a $300 million charge between January and March, and according to Reuters, its shares also dropped 2% in extended trade. According to Jesse Cohen, senior analyst at Investing.com, the market appears to be unimpressed by the scale of the company's planned job cuts, which only represented 1.5% of its staff. The analyst continued, “Investors were hoping for deeper cost-cutting measures" . In contrast to its expectation of $10 billion, IBM's cash flow in 2022 was $9.3 billion due to higher-than-anticipated working capital needs. IBM's sales growth for 2022 was 5.5%, the highest in a decade. Read the full article

One of the most promising advancements in recent times is the emergence of Extended Reality (XR). The technology encompasses a wide range of technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). According to a recent report from MarketsandMarkets, the XR market is expected to reach $280 Billion by 2023, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 65.0% over the forecast period. Such growth is due to the increasing demand for XR technology in various sectors that include entertainment, education, and healthcare, as well as the development of supportive infrastructure for the technology. Key Players Leading the Way Qualcomm, Microsoft Corporation, and Magic Leap are among the top companies leading the XR technology market. Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors have been powering the majority of premium VR headsets, and the recent chip upgrade slated to launch by the end of this year will cater to the ever-increasing demand. Microsoft Corporation's HoloLens 2 is a prime example of AR technology in the enterprise sector, with its increased field of view and improved hand tracking system. Magic Leap, an XR startup known for its AR hardware, has received investments from big names such as Google, Andreessen Horowitz, and Alibaba, amongst many others, because of its unique mixed reality technology. The Entertainment Sector The entertainment industry continues to be a significant consumer of XR technology. Online gaming revenue has continued to surge with virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality experiences. The XR technology has not only revolutionized gaming but has also created opportunities for interactive moviegoing experiences and theme parks. The technology has made it possible to watch movies and TV shows in VR, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the content. The Education Sector XR technology has made it easier for educators to teach complex subjects. It has become one of the best ways to engage students, with its ability to create virtual field trips, interactive labs, and 3D modeling. The technology allows students to visualize concepts that are difficult to understand and enhances their learning experience. XR technology is an engaging and efficient way of teaching, and educators are beginning to see its potential. The Healthcare Sector The healthcare industry has been significantly impacted by XR technology. It has enabled doctors to train in a safe and controlled virtual environment. XR technology helps to improve surgical procedures and medical training, as well as patient education. The technology can also help to improve patient outcomes by using AR to superimpose vital patient information. #xrtech #Qualcomm #MicrosoftCorp #MagicLeap #AR #VR #MixedReality In conclusion, the growth of XR technology is unquestionable, and it's only a matter of time before it is fully integrated into mainstream society. The technology's applications are endless, and the XR market is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years. With companies like Qualcomm, Microsoft Corporation, and Magic Leap leading the way, the potential for XR technology is limitless. #BUSINESS Read the full article
