IBM Think Digital Summit South East Europe

providing the technical education and the essential skills you need to build a smarter future,
and become stronger as individuals, as businesses, and as a society to a different normal.
Learn how you can protect and stabilize your organization, enhance IT resiliency and business
continuity, address new cybersecurity risks and engage customers faster, anywhere.
Focus on topics you care about most!
Engage customers, anywhere with Watson
Organization need to provide business continuity, reduce wait times and improve customer satisfaction while handling the significant increase in contact volumes. They need to automate servicing requests through AI (virtual assistants), deflect from voice (phone) channel to messaging and chat, and enable customer service agents to work from home.
Protect against new cybersecurity risks
Organizations must quickly take steps to protect and enable their remote workforces, detect and respond to accelerating threats and virtually extend their security teams to ensure business continuity and cyber resiliency.
Enhance your IT resiliency and business continuity
Organization need to protect their
business with a resilient, flexible IT infrastructure. They need to strengthen their business
continuity with the right tools, technology and skills to deal with crises. They also need to
protect and recover from cyber attacks by having a robust cyber recovery plan and secure data
storage to ensure smooth operations of their environments if a crisis impacts physical access to
data centers.
Areas such as network resiliency, crisis management, employee safety, client engagement and
zero-touch operations become paramount.
Accelerate agility and efficiency with IBM Cloud
Organization need the ability to operate anywhere and also need a seamless transition to remote business with a secure, flexible cloud and digital services for mobility, virtualization, collaboration and support — now more than ever.
