L'unité commerciale

Logiciels IBM insuffle de l'intelligence dans les opérations commerciales de base — de l'apprentissage machine à l'IA générative — pour aider à rendre les organisations plus réactives, plus productives et plus résilientes. Logiciels IBM aide les clients à mettre l'IA en action dès maintenant pour créer une valeur réelle avec confiance, rapidité et assurance dans les domaines du travail numérique, de l'automatisation informatique, de la modernisation des applications, de la sécurité et de la durabilité. La capacité d'utiliser toutes les données est essentielle à cet égard, car la valeur de l'IA dépend de la valeur des données qui l'alimentent. Dans la plupart des organisations, les données sont réparties sur plusieurs nuages, sur site, dans des centres de données privés et à la périphérie. La plateforme d'IA et de données d'IBM permet de faire évoluer et d'accélérer l'impact de l'IA avec des données fiables, et fournit des capacités de pointe pour former, ajuster et déployer l'IA dans l'ensemble d'une entreprise. La plateforme infonuagique hybride d'IBM est l'une des approches les plus complètes et les plus cohérentes en matière de développement, de sécurité et d'exploitation dans des environnements hybrides, ce qui constitue une base flexible pour tirer parti des données, où qu'elles se trouvent, afin de bien ancrer l'IA au sein d'une entreprise.
