Telefónica Tech and IBM have sealed a collaboration agreement to drive the deployment of artificial intelligence, analytics and data governance solutions across enterprises.
The agreement, initially covering Spain, establishes a framework of collaboration between the two companies, to help joint customers deal with the complexity of managing new technologies and extract the full value from them in their business processes.
The companies say they will work together on the development and deployment of an open, hybrid and multi-cloud platform, specialising in data management and AI, including use cases, implementation resources, training, and certifications.
Last year, IBM launched the watsonx AI and Data platform, which will be at the heart of the collaboration agreement.
Elena Gil Lizasoain, director of the artificial intelligence and data business unit at Telefónica Tech, said: "This new collaboration will help drive the many benefits of artificial intelligence, traditional and generative, and proper data management in the business world.
“By combining the knowledge of both teams, we will continue to advance in the construction of use cases aimed at creating more efficient and sustainable businesses."
