The eight-year, £423m contract gives Vodafone Business customers full access to IBM’s cloud portfolio, while IBM will provide managed services to Vodafone’s cloud and hosting unit. The two firms said this would enable users to benefit from IBM’s optimisation, automation and cognitive capabilities to help them run their businesses effectively in a multi-cloud environment.With IBM’s own research claiming that over 70% of organisations use up to 15 cloud environments to help them access new digital services, the interconnectivity between clouds and the vulnerability of the data they hold has become a global issue. The two firms hope to remove some of the complexity and barriers from this situation, letting data and applications flow freely and securely across organisations.“This strategic venture with IBM allows us to focus on our strengths in fixed and mobile technologies, while leveraging IBM’s expertise in multi-cloud, AI and services. Through this new venture, we will accelerate our growth and deepen engagement with our customers while driving radical simplification and efficiency in our business.”IBM CEO Ginni Rometty added: “IBM has built industry-leading hybrid cloud, AI and security capabilities underpinned by deep industry expertise. Together, IBM and Vodafone will use the power of the hybrid cloud to securely integrate critical business applications, driving business innovation – from agriculture to next-generation retail.”“This new venture between Vodafone and IBM addresses the ‘full stack’ of real-world, multi-cloud concerns with a powerful combination of capabilities that should enable customers to deliver multi-cloud strategies in all layers of their organisations,” said Carla Arend, senior programme director of European software at IDC. -- ???????? | |||
