- i.am+ and IBM announced they have partnered for accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence and customer data management
I.AM+ — which is the technology company founded by music artist and entrepreneur will.i.am — announced it has partnered with IBM in order to accelerate the adoption of AI and responsibly manage customer data as AI goes mainstream. I.AM+’s Omega AI platform provides businesses with tools for developing human-like conversational experiences. And as part of the collaboration, I.AM+ will deploy Omega using Red Hat OpenShift (the industry’s most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform) running on IBM public cloud, designed to provide I.AM+ customers the technology to operate more efficiently while taking advantage of IBM’s enterprise-level data security for the public cloud.
I.AM+ is also going to tap into IBM Services for industry expertise in developing and implementing cloud and cognitive solutions which can create personalized and innovative experiences for companies.
“Delivering AI solutions to industries like retail and entertainment, where personal data is everywhere, it was a top priority to find a cloud provider with deep roots in security, trust, and transparency; we got that with IBM public cloud,” said will.i.am, founder of I.AM+. “Combined with Red Hat OpenShift, we have the right partners to help us scale the use of AI in a responsible and transparent way.”
IBM is going to benefit from offering I.AM+ technology to its customer base who are looking to build conversational experiences that are contextual and proactive. And I.AM+ has created domain-specific applications using machine learning technologies built in-house.
“Enterprises across industries, including the most highly regulated ones, have turned to IBM public cloud as their preferred destination to host mission-critical workloads and keep data secure,” added Jesus Mantas, Chief Strategy and Innovation officer at IBM Global Business Services. “The combination of Omega with Red Hat OpenShift on IBM public cloud, is designed to provide I.AM+ clients a faster way to add intuitive, context-aware AI use cases to their business platforms, resulting in faster adoption and better experiences for customers.”
Businesses need to seamlessly and securely connect data and workloads across hybrid IT environments. And with Red Hat OpenShift, I.AM+ is able to run its platform across multiple public clouds, private clouds, on-premises infrastructures, and can manage, maintain and scale its AI cloud with ease.
In selecting the IBM public cloud as its preferred cloud platform, I.AM+ clients are benefiting from a secure and open public cloud for business. And IBM public cloud delivers enterprise-grade workload capabilities, data and app protection, and open-source innovations that some of the world’s largest and most complex enterprises demand in order to protect sensitive data.
