IBM has always been in IT:

  The company was founded in 1911 as the Computing
  Tabulating Recording Corporation through a merger of four
  companies: the Tabulating Machine Company, the   
  International Time Recording Company, the Computing Scale 
  Corporation, and the Bundy Manufacturing Company.

The reason why IBM still exists to this day while most of its competitors have vanished is because they have been able to redefine what IT means for IBM. That and some of the world's best managers.
