Box and IBM showcase partnership momentum at IBM Think 2019
Enterprises today operate in a complex global environment where employees, customers and partners are often located across every corner of the world. At the same time, they are faced with managing an array of evolving global compliance, data protection, performance and security requirements. To help people achieve more at work amid this complexity, we have combined our strengths to help hundreds shared clients address increasing needs for productivity, security and insight-driven collaboration.
After more than three years, the IBM | Box partnership continues to focus on helping companies worldwide tap into all of the benefits of the cloud while ensuring security, performance and control similar to local data center infrastructure.
Last August, Box and IBM expanded our partnership to deliver the first ever custom skills built using the Box Skills Kit. IBM Watson, which is one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the enterprise, is the first partner to leverage the Box Skills Kit to develop custom skills.
And in October, we announced that joint Box and IBM customers will now be able to leverage IBM Cloud Object Storage for their infrastructure needs in the US.
Finally, we're excited to have a significant presence at IBM Think 2019 staring Tuesday 12 February in San Francisco! Come meet with Boxers at Booth #421, get Custom Box Skills with Watson demos at the Watson booth, see how our joint solutions can power business processes, and check out these sessions where you'll hear experts talk about how they're leveraging Watson and Box:
