IBM braces for tech disruptions

Multi-Cloud management technology company IBM Philippines kicked off its aggressive move to brace and keep up with technology disruptions.

IBM, in partnership with Cebu IT BPM Organization (CIB.O), the academe and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the academe has tapped at least 200 senior high students in six public schools in Cebu City.

In an interview with IBM Philippines president and country manager Aileen Judan-Juao, she said Cebu’s strong collaboration between private and government sector particularly in ICT development prompted IBM to re-open the IBM Technical Boot camp 2019.

The three-month program aims to help Cebu students gain technical and soft skills they will need for 21st century STEM and other careers.

Now on its second year, the boot camp will be facilitated by IBM employees who will be leveraging IBM Skills Build resources .

Likewise, IBM is also intensifying penetration with the corporate sector, helping companies prepare for the sometimes threatening technology disruptions, such as AI (artificial intelligence), and significantly the cloud management.

IBM recently launched the First Multicloud Management Technology Open approach for managing apps across different cloud environments.

This new open technology designed to make it easier to manage, move and integrate apps across different cloud computing infrastructures.

IBM's Multicloud Manager provides an operations console for companies as they increasingly incorporate public and private cloud capabilities with existing onpremises business systems. —
