IBM Shares Hybrid Cloud and AI Solutions

IBM announced advances in artificial intelligence, hybrid cloud and quantum computing at its annual Think conference. IBM's innovations underscore the company's role in helping customers and solution partners accelerate their digital transformations, intelligently adapt to the business environment and achieve better commercial results. IBM President and Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna: "Looking back, 2020 and 2021 will be the period when the world entered the digital century with all its force. In the past century, we began using electricity in factories and machines. This century, we will use hybrid cloud to ensure artificial intelligence spreads across software and systems. There is one thing we are certain of: we will build the future on the basis of comprehensive industry collaboration. No one understands this better than IBM. This is one of the reasons we are increasing our investments in our joint ecosystems. At Think 2021, we are showcasing our hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence innovations—technologies that form the building blocks of new IT software for the business world." he said. Recognizing that enterprises need a clear and secure path to modernize their systems, IBM is focusing on hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence. IBM's research on artificial intelligence adoption shows that integrating artificial intelligence into business processes became more urgent during the pandemic. According to a survey of IT professionals from around the world, 43 percent of IT professionals said their companies accelerated the launch of artificial intelligence use. Furthermore, nearly half of the IT professionals surveyed indicated that they evaluate artificial intelligence providers primarily based on their ability to automate processes. IBM attributes its emphasis on investments in artificial intelligence capabilities for business to these factors. With the power of hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence, IBM supports companies operating in various sectors and shared the solutions it designed to make its customers' transformations easier at the Think event.
