Expanding IBM’s software portfolio to 92 countries through AWS Marketplace: Simplifying the purchasing process for customers around the globe
IBM has expanded its software portfolio to 92 countries through the AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog of Amazon Web Services (AWS). This move simplifies the purchasing and billing processes for customers in countries beyond Germany, France, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the United States where it was already accessible. Furthermore, customers can now use their committed AWS spending for IBM software acquisitions.
IBM’s expanded portfolio in 92 countries includes 44 listings and 29 software as a service (SaaS) offerings. These offerings include technologies like Watsonx.data and Watsonx.ai from the Watsonx platform. Other services available from IBM for these countries are Dv2 Cloud Pak for Data, Apptio, Turbonomic, Instana, and IBM Security & Sustainability, all built on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS.
To meet customer needs and demand, IBM plans to launch 15 new professional services and IBM Consulting assets on AWS Marketplace. This move aligns with the company’s goal to provide a comprehensive range of services to customers in various countries. With this expansion, IBM aims to provide its customers with access to cutting-edge technology solutions that can help them drive innovation and growth in their businesses.
