IBM has recently expanded the availability of its software portfolio to 92 countries through AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog of Amazon Web Services (AWS). This development 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. Moreover, customers can now use their committed AWS spending for IBM software acquisitions.
IBM’s expanded portfolio on AWS Marketplace comprises 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.
In addition to this expansion, IBM plans to launch 15 new professional services and IBM Consulting assets on AWS Marketplace to meet customer needs and demand. This move aligns with the company’s goal to provide a comprehensive range of services to customers in various countries.
