The ISVs I’m featuring fall into two camps: vendors who are leveraging IBM Watson to bring its inherent disruption to the enterprise, and vendors who are supporting IBM customers’ own disruptions. ServiceNow will also integrate with Bluemix and IBM Cloud Orchestrator, IBM’s cloud management platform for provisioning cloud services. Helping IBM Customers Navigate Their Own DisruptionsMore likely than not, my second group of four ISVs are leveraging older IBM technologies – but are helping joint customers navigate their own disruptive business environments while running IBM gear. The Cloudsoft Application Management Platform (AMP) runs on the IBM Cloud, and enables its customers to deploy and manage applications that run on IBM Blue Box OpenStack-powered private clouds in IBM Cloud Data Centers around the globe. Cloudsoft AMP on IBM Cloud essentially provides a dedicated cloud infrastructure that supports transparent execution of cloud-based applications worldwide.
