There is a lot going on in the world. The rate of change in technology is disrupting industries and companies quicker than ever. Industry analysts predict that within 8 years, over half of the Fortune 500 will have disappeared. The deluge of data being produced today is happening at the same time that IT budgets are being slashed. Successful IT organizations are adapting by learning to ‘do more with less’ with Artificial Intelligence in mind.  IBM has taken steps to make that easier with the introduction of the all new Power9 System.
