IBM Introduces Customizable Cloud Business Solutions
The subscription-based solution will be delivered through the IBM Cloud Marketplace to advance the CXO agenda.
IBM has announced plans to deliver 20 new cloud-based business solutions that can be personalized to support a client's unique business requirements. The offerings combine the scale, speed and ease of cloud with the industry insight of IBM consulting services to address specific industry verticals and business functions such as mobile, asset management, and analytics.
Today's announcement builds on IBM's significant investments in cloud computing. Called IBM Cloud Business Solutions, the portfolio includes multiple components packaged into a single client agreement and delivered "as a service" for speed and simplicity. This includes consulting services, pre-built assets from IBM Research, software, advanced analytics, ongoing support and cloud infrastructure delivered via Softlayer, an IBM company. Pricing is based on a subscription model. Clients pay a set-up fee up front, and then ongoing subscription or usage-based fees.
