IBM Exec Explains QRadar Sale, New MSP Program And Partner Strategy
Summary
After 14 years working as a partner for Bain & Company, Woolley joined IBM in 2020 as chief of staff to CEO Arvind Krishna. We’re going to build the program around that with a very easy set of onboarding and the resources around that, in particular, the technical resources—how do we work with our MSPs as they do proof-of-concepts and that type of thing. As we look at our QRadar on-prem clients and partners, we are going to be working with them to continue to support and enhance those products from an IBM perspective. Also the open sourcing of the large language model and the InstructLab is very relevant to how we’re going to see the generative AI evolve and have impact. As we think about open sourcing our large language models in collaboration across IBM and Red Hat, this allows us to invite all of our clients, our developers, our partners, global experts, etc.
