Real world example
Optimize cloud analytics
Problem: A chief marketing officer (CMO) needs to increase customer traffic by 20% in stores by making the stores a differentiating asset. At the same time, the CMO needs to reduce inventory.
Solution: On-demand compute, storage and event management that runs in public cloud with access to back-end ERP systems. Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud provides easier spin-up of more compute, where developers quickly add cloud analytics services for sales behavior insights and digital market adaptability.
