Dawn Herndon, VP of Build at IBM in EMEA, shares her insights and experiences on building and maintaining a robust partner ecosystem at IBM TechXchange Summit EMEA 2024 with Dinis Guarda. The conversation spans the intricacies of innovation and governance within the IBM’s Partner Plus program, and the advantages of AI, more specifically watsonx, for enterprises. The partner ecosystem of IBM is a growth engine that can help IBM establish itself as a leader in technology innovation and implementation, while expanding the growth route for its partners at the same time. For IBM, the task involves coordinating business strategies and exploring opportunities within an ecosystem comprising industry frontrunners like Adobe, Celonis, Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP, and Workday. “Partnerships are necessary for us to drive innovation, find and provide benefits that support an organization in the way they grow their market share, and attract new customers. It is necessary not only to embed the technology but providing confidence and capability that they can leverage to drive the innovation. IBM brings its products and technical expertise to the table for organizations to co-create and work together on addressing the business initiatives that they have”, says Dawn during an interview with Dinis Guarda at the IBM TechXchange EMEA 2024 Summit. Additionally, she also explains that the collaboration extends to infrastructure organisations, such as Amazon Web Service (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and IBM's proprietary technologies. www.citiesabc.com/innovation/partner-ecosystem-and-ai-innovations-dawn-herndon-in-conversation-with-dinis-guarda-at-ibm-techxchange-summit/
