From the Paper:

"As the largest corporation of its kind, with both national and international divisions is account management policies are frequently used as a model for the development of innovation for other businesses. It is for this reason that the most fluid understanding of the account management policies of this organization come from its development of new and innovative ways in which to manage the accounts of others, through it software and hardware mix. The newest innovation in account management comes from the development of systems that create real time automated accounting. To see an example of how IBM has developed its own accounting, with the understanding that different locations and divisions manage accounting independently and then collectively according to policy one must look at a description of innovation technology. In short IBM uses its own technology to drive account management policy. IBM has stepped away from annual functions in nearly every way, which has aided the company in innovations that serve its consumer needs."
