Sobre a Unidade de Negócios

Do aprendizado de máquina à IA generativa, o software IBM injeta inteligência nas principais operações de negócios para tornar as empresas mais responsivas, produtivas e resilientes. O software IBM ajuda os clientes a colocar a IA em ação para agregar valor real, de forma rápida e segura, à mão de obra digital, automação de TI, modernização de aplicação, segurança e sustentabilidade. Para isso, a capacidade de usar todos os dados é fundamental, porque a IA somente será boa se os dados que a alimentam também forem. Na maioria das empresas há dados locais, dados espalhados por diversas nuvens, dados em data centers privados e na borda. A plataforma de dados e IA da IBM escala e acelera o impacto da IA com dados confiáveis, além de fornecer recursos de ponta para treinar, ajustar e implementar a IA nos negócios. A plataforma de nuvem híbrida da IBM é uma das abordagens mais abrangentes e consistentes ao desenvolvimento, segurança e operações em ambientes híbridos, atuando como uma base flexível que utiliza os dados, onde quer que estejam, para estender amplamente a IA sobre os negócios.
