2024

Bring together business insights and IT investments.

Business OKRs and IT spending will converge with greater visibility, recommendations for optimization, and intelligent remediations, leading to higher efficiencies. We will use generative AI to democratize access to integration capabilities.

Why this matters for our clients and the world

Enterprises will be able to scale faster and align IT investment to business-critical projects. Integrated end-to-end observability will provide more complete insights about applications from source to operations. Automation will bridge the skills gap and mitigate the polyglot of tools used by less-skilled users.

The technologies and innovations that will make this possible

Operations observability will include financial spending and AI consumption. We will automate complex tasks and trigger collaboration workflows with generative AI. We will optimize AI models for developer language choices to enable less-skilled users to achieve more advanced goals. We will use integration platforms to provide access to enterprise data flows and as an injection point for AI logic.

How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners

We will deliver an initial integrated platform for higher accuracy, resiliency, financial transparency, and observability across IBM automation. It will be powered by generative AI and enable the convergence of business objectives with enterprise applications, data sources, and real-time events.
