Data is the key to IBM being 'the enterprise cloud'

The Cloud and Data Hub at #ThinkJohannesburg will challenge conventional thinking around data and cloud.


Johannesburg, 29 May 2018

Enterprises need the right technical know-how to take full advantage of their data using the right cloud architecture.

In a recent interview with Cloud Tech, John Considine, IBM general manager of cloud infrastructure services, made the IBM view of cloud abundantly clear. We are the enterprise cloud," he said.

Data is a cornerstone of that way of thinking, Considine added.

Given that more than 80% of the world's data is still maintained behind the corporate firewall, IBM's focus has been on enabling businesses to take advantage of that data, to combine it with new processing techniques, new data sets and new capabilities.

This has led to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics and blockchain becoming important parts of IBM's core goal in helping its clients gain a competitive edge.

IBM Cloud: AI-ready, designed for data, and secure to the core, can help enterprises achieve their business goals.

At IBM's #ThinkJohannesburg's Cloud and Data Hub, delegates will get an opportunity to challenge conventional thinking around data and cloud, and find the right solutions to accelerate their business as well as transform their industry.
