"Groundbreaking Collaboration in Generative AI Field: IBM and AWS Launch New Solution"

IBM and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have announced an expansion of their strategic partnership to provide advanced generative AI solutions to more customers. These two tech giants plan to integrate IBM's capabilities more deeply into the AWS cloud. The collaboration between these two companies aims to incorporate generative AI into existing solutions, including contact centers, platform services, and supply chain operations. IBM Consulting's goal is to train 10,000 consultants by the end of 2024 to master AWS generative AI services and technologies, in order to better serve their clients. Building on the foundation of their longstanding alliance, this partnership aims to simplify customers' adoption of IBM's data, AI, and security software on AWS. It also signifies a deepening relationship between the two companies and the demand for assistance in exploring the field of generative AI. The initial focus of IBM Consulting and AWS includes three specific solutions: 1. Modernizing contact centers with Amazon Connect - a feature built using generative AI that enables a smooth transition between chatbots and live agents. This feature provides agents with an overview analysis of voice and digital interactions, ensuring faster solutions and improved quality management. 2. Platform services on AWS - a service set to be launched by the end of 2022, now incorporating generative AI to manage the cloud value chain, including IT operations and platform engineering. By leveraging generative AI, customers can benefit from enhanced business availability of AWS foundational applications, ensuring quick issue resolution. 3. Supply chain integration on AWS - an upcoming feature where a virtual assistant will assist supply chain professionals in meeting customer expectations, managing inventory, reducing costs, optimizing logistics, and assessing potential supply chain risks. Additionally, IBM Consulting's Cloud Accelerator will integrate AWS generative AI services to facilitate customers' cloud transformation, assisting in reverse engineering and code generation. IBM further solidifies its position within the AWS ecosystem by offering the SaaS solution watsonx.data on AWS. The plan also includes making watsonx.ai and watsonx.governance available on AWS by 2024, highlighting IBM's commitment to simplifying customer access to IBM data, AI, and security software. The combination of IBM Consulting's expertise in applied AI and AWS's innovative generative services creates a powerful value proposition for customers pursuing business transformation. Integrations like the one between IBM Consulting's Cloud Accelerator and AWS AI tools can accelerate cloud migration.
