Estridge was IBM vice president and president, Entry Systems Division, International Business Machines Corporation, Boca Raton, Florida when he died in a plane crash, along with his wife, Mary Ann. In 1981, Estridge had been named director, Entry Systems Business, responsible for the IBM Personal Computer. Acting lab director at that time, he volunteered to head the project. Estridge decided early that to be successful and to meet deadlines, the group had to stick to the plan: using tested vendor technology; a standardized, one-model product; open architecture; and outside sales channels for quick consumer market saturation. In sum, the development team broke all the rules. They went outside the traditional boundaries of product development within IBM. They went to outside vendors for most of the parts, went to outside software developers for the operating system and application software, and acted as an independent business unit. Those tactics enabled them to develop and announce the IBM PC in 12 months - at that time faster than any other hardware product in IBM's history. On August 12, 1981, at a press conference at the Waldorf Astoria ballroom in New York City, Estridge announced the IBM Personal Computer with a price tag of $1,565 BU: RUBRIK: IBM Manager und Mitarbeiter BILDART: Portrait STICHWORTE: erster PC, Original PC, Personalcomputer, Ur-PC IBM_NUMMER: 85894 FARBE: farbig FORMAT: Hoch ORIGINAL: Digital BILDRECHTE: IBM BILDQUELLE: https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/builders/builders_estridge.html EINGABE: Häßler EXPORTPATH: 30/images/50824826.jpg
