The new year has brought some name changes to the branding within IBM. What we have known Hybrid Cloud has changed to IBM Automation as IBM has consolidated it Cloud Management & Platform, Integration & Development and Digital Business Automation products into one group.
Automation simplifies how businesses operate. AI accelerates innovation by making every process more intelligent. Companies can apply AI-powered automation to manage complex technology environments and simplify workflows and tasks, all of which reduce costs and give back time so that people can focus on what is most strategic.
As part of this transition IBM had released a new IBM Automation Landing page on PartnerWorld. Visit and bookmark the new page at https://www.ibm.com/partnerworld/cloud/automation so you have access to all key resources.
