Powering the Next Wave of Innovation with IBM and AWS

Overview

As enterprises accelerate toward AI-first operations, the conversation is no longer about experimentation, it is about scale, speed, and measurable business impact. Organizations today are seeking faster ways to modernize infrastructure, simplify procurement, and operationalize AI without adding complexity. This is where the combined strength of IBM and Redington is reshaping the innovation landscape.

Powering the Next Wave of Innovation with IBM and Redington brings together technology leaders, ecosystem partners, and digital-native innovators to explore how AI-ready data, secure automation, and resilient cloud architectures are enabling enterprises to build smarter and scale faster through the AWS Marketplace.

With hyperscaler marketplaces projected to influence nearly 59% of global cloud software spend by 2030, marketplaces are rapidly becoming the preferred route for enterprise technology adoption. Organizations leveraging AI with strong hybrid cloud foundations are significantly more likely to accelerate ROI, operational agility, and innovation outcomes.

The conference will spotlight how enterprises can:

	Accelerate AI adoption with scalable cloud-native architectures

	Simplify procurement and co-sell motions through AWS Marketplace

	Build resilient, automation-led operations for modern digital ecosystems

	Unlock faster innovation cycles with AI-ready data strategies

	Strengthen business agility through collaborative partner ecosystems

Why This Conversation Matters

72%¹ of business leaders believe AI advantage depends on access to integrated and trusted data

Organizations adopting hybrid cloud at scale report up to 2.5x² higher value realization from AI initiatives

As enterprises navigate growing demands around speed, security, and intelligent automation, IBM and Redington are enabling a new pathway for innovation, where cloud marketplaces become catalysts for business transformation, co-innovation, and scalable AI adoption.

This strategic synergy of IBM and Redington, enterprises now have the opportunity to move beyond modernization—and engineer intelligent, resilient, and outcome-driven digital transformation.
