BREAKTHROUGH with IBM is the latest collaboration from IBM and SAP, which converges IBM Consulting portfolio with RISE with SAP to allow organisations access to an engagement model that can plan, execute, and support a holistic business transformation.    

The recent study sponsored by SAP dubbed IBM Insights on SAP revealed that the cloud is still the key technology driver for digital transformation in this era of recovery– enabling new platform-based business models, the orchestration of digital ecosystems, and the delivery of connected customer and employee experiences. According to the study, 74% of CEOs say that cloud computing will help them deliver the results they need over the next 2-3 years and 80% of the cloud opportunity will focus on shifting core business applications and workloads to the cloud and optimising everything from supply chain to sales.

IBM and SAP have been longstanding partners modernising operations of organisations across industries worldwide using hybrid cloud environments. In August, the two tech giants embarked on a partnership centred on onboarding two of SAP’s finance and data management solutions to IBM Cloud for Financial Services to help accelerate the banking and finance industry’s IBM cloud adoption.
