Overview
IBM Cloud Pak® for Applications helps you modernize existing applications, embed additional security, and develop new apps that unleash digital initiatives. It offers cloud-native development solutions that can quickly deliver value, along with flexible licensing that can be tailored to your specific needs.

Benefits
On public clouds, on premises or on a private cloud — run your applications where and how they work best for your business. We’ll provide the tools to sync them to Red Hat® OpenShift® on IBM Cloud®, a unified Kubernetes platform built on open-source standards. We'll also support them no matter where they run.
Use cases
Modernize traditional applications
Moving to the cloud doesn't mean that you'll build everything from the ground up. Instead, you can modernize traditional applications to increase their flexibility and scalability.

Apps that are built in the cloud are typically more scalable, easier to update and less costly to run. This can help you to respond to customer needs faster.
