Accelerate your AI journey

Accelerate your journey to AI with the enterprise leader

You’re on a journey to AI and the stakes are higher than ever. And while companies understand the power of AI, they haven’t fully realized its potential.

Now it’s making all the difference on how they recover and transform. With AI, enterprises can respond to customers, regulators and partners 50% faster than their peers.1

And its economic impact is undeniable. Organizations whose AI journey is already underway can expect a piece of an estimated $13 trillion windfall by the end of this decade.

I’m predicting today that every company will become an AI company — not because they can, but because they must. ”
Arvind Krishna
IBM’s CEO at Think Digital 2020

AI is not magic

Scaling AI is hard work. Having the technology alone is not enough. IBM brings decades of research and customer use-case experience to helping clients achieve successful outcomes.

While 80% of firms expect AI use cases to increase in number within the next two years, approximately 90% of organizations surveyed by Forrester confess that scaling AI is a struggle. Business leaders do not understand the data and infrastructure required for AI.2

If they can’t address talent scarcity, a lack of trust and data complexity, initiatives are destined to fall short — and this leads to increased costs, missed deadlines, and regulatory risks.

Listen to how leading brands overcame these obstacles and are putting AI to work at scale.

H&R Block and IBM teams worked seamlessly in a rich partnership to achieve results.
What we're doing is basically taking the power of AI and the learnings that IBM has had running, massive data centers, and a lot of instances around the world and bringing that to enterprises to our clients in a way that they get the benefits of all that learning in the intelligence that we can embed with AI to be able to run their operations more efficiently, effectively, and certainly more reliably. ”
