The updates come at a time when more businesses are expediting their digital transformation plans. According to a new study by IBM’s Institute for Business Value, COVID-19 and the future of business, the pandemic has been the cause of accelerated digital transformation plans at 59 percent of organizations surveyed. But while most organizations agree on the need to unlock the value of data with AI, companies surveyed by IDC recently said only 10% of potentially useful data is effectively analyzed.[1]
“Cloud Pak offerings are integrated with AI and give companies a consistent experience from Pak to Pak,” said Michael Gilfix, Vice President, Chief Product Officer, Cloud Paks, IBM. “And because they run on Red Hat OpenShift, clients can deploy and manage them on any cloud environment, be it on-premises, and/or public cloud. With today’s announcements, we’re driving automation and data management capabilities even farther across the enterprise.”
