The firms noted businesses across all industries, including the public sector, manufacturing, and financial services can leverage IBM-AT&T's strategic alliance to improve business outcomes and boost customer satisfaction.
Enterprises can also address critical challenges such as supply chain disruptions and cyber threats through the jointly offered simulation center located at IBM Bethesda Lab. The environment is envisioned to serve as a testbed for varied technologies including secure cellular and cloud computing.
For instance, manufacturers can implement “safety zones” through video intelligence to identify product anomalies and improve inventory management.
Furthermore, IBM Yorktown, the headquarters for IBM Research, is now integrated with AT&T 5G to facilitate a co-branded customer showcase and 5G innovation center, incorporating IBM and Red Hat industry solutions and offerings.
At AT&T's 5G Innovation Studio in Plano, TX, IBM and AT&T are working together to bring AI and machine learning (ML) to network insights to improve IT, OT, IoT, and 5G network visibility.
Open hybrid cloud computing in a low-latency, private cellular network edge environment is yet another joint offering by AT&T and IBM.
