IBM THINK is happening now in Boston…. Enterprise Customers are firmly supporting a number of key priories regarding AI. 1). TRUST is critical. Both the data used to train models and the governance used to ensure they act consistently in accordance with policies, intent and regulatory environments. 2) OPEN provides critical flexability to use the right model - for the right use-cases. 3) ECONOMICS matter - to go from pilot to production requires both a compelling aggregate business case and efficient inferencing unit-costs.

IBM's acquisition of HashiCorp is poised to significantly impact its generative AI strategy. The integration of HashiCorp's infrastructure management tools with IBM's AI capabilities is expected to enhance the deployment of generative AI applications across hybrid and multicloud environments. This aligns with IBM's ambition to tailor generative AI for enterprises, focusing on trustworthiness, energy efficiency, and portability. The acquisition could accelerate IBM's generative AI initiatives by providing the underlying infrastructure that supports the seamless movement of AI workloads between public and private clouds, a critical aspect for the deployment of generative AI at scale. Moreover, with IBM's establishment of a Center of Excellence for generative AI, the HashiCorp acquisition is likely to contribute to IBM's broader strategy of infusing generative AI into business processes, thereby driving productivity and fostering innovation. Reflecting on IBM’s future strategy, this acquisition seems to be a step towards creating a more robust hybrid cloud ecosystem that can support the growing demand for AI and cloud-native applications. IBM’s cloud strategy has been evolving to focus on hybrid multicloud environments, leveraging partnerships with AWS, Azure, Google, and IBM Cloud to optimize client technology environments. The addition of HashiCorp’s capabilities could potentially accelerate IBM’s cloud journey and enable it to offer a more comprehensive set of tools for cloud migration, modernization, and management. In essence, IBM’s direction with this acquisition seems to be about enhancing its cloud services ecosystem, aiming to provide a more seamless and integrated experience for customers navigating the complexities of multicloud and hybrid cloud environments. The success of this strategy will depend on IBM’s ability to integrate HashiCorp’s offerings effectively and leverage their strengths to outmaneuver competitors in the cloud space.

Application modernization is key to optimizing #healthcare delivery and operational efficiency. New technologies like #generativeAI can play a key role in helping with this tremendous task. Brendan Fowkes, IBM's global healthcare industry technology leader, points to three motivating factors for application modernization for CDW Healthcare Magazine: 1) Consumers' demands for streamlined experiences; 2) Monolithic clinical, claims and operational systems running on-premises that aren’t nimble enough; 3) Regulations that demand data-sharing workflows that legacy systems struggle to support.
