Spanning more than 20 years, Persistent’s collaboration with IBM grew from a project in security to collaborating on more than 400 shared customers and experience across 50 IBM brands and 125 IBM products including IBM Cloud Paks. Persistent will continue to work with IBM to accelerate:

Hybrid Cloud Adoption: Persistent will evolve its Red Hat Center of Excellence by adding co-engineering PODs and specialized teams focused on product engineering and advanced technology skills to help meet the needs of today’s customers. This initiative will build on the current Persistent practice, which includes more than 2,000 containerized software and Kubernetes professionals, over 300 Red Hat accredited sales and delivery staff and an IBM Cloud Pak deployment practice to help customers migrate workloads to the IBM Cloud.

Security Modernization: Persistent will continue to use IBM Security solutions like IBM Security QRadar SIEM in conjunction with its proprietary security operations centers (SOCs) to help customers modernize. The company’s 600+ person security services practice will work closely with IBM Global Business Services to accelerate innovation and help customers expand their security footprint.

Industry-Specific Transformation: Persistent recently collaborated with IBM to increase adoption of industry-specific clouds across the enterprise. The company intends to onboard its Digital Banking Solution to the IBM Cloud for Financial Services to help ensure that transactions are compliant and conducted in a secured environment. In addition, Persistent will build and deploy its Telco Network Cloud Manager solution on the IBM Cloud for Telecommunications to help enable network equipment partners to accelerate business transformations by unlocking the power of 5G and edge.
