During this session, gain insights into high-performance technologies that are optimized for cloud, designed for AI and data-intensive workloads, and enabling the world’s most powerful and secure transaction processing. In this new era of human-computer interaction, discover how the right infrastructure investments — or your own ‘big bets’ — can help you tackle new workloads and deliver personalized and differentiated customer experiences that will put you on top.

The Rise of Platform-Centric Business Models

Businesses are entering an era of transformative business models enabled by new technologies that empowers them to operate in new ways. This revolutionary shift will lead enterprises to new platform models they can own, lead or participate in. By adopting new platforms that support data and AI infused workflows, businesses can transform the way employees add value and keep their edge. What will the journey look like and what are the factors for success?

Join this session for a view of how business leaders can explore and quickly deploy these new business models to become cognitive enterprises, gaining a significant competitive advantage both within their industries, and by entering entirely new markets.

From Sci-fi to Reality: Quantum Computing is Here

There is a whole class of problems that are too difficult for even the largest and most powerful computers that exist today to solve. These exponential challenges include everything from simulating the complex interactions of atoms and molecules to optimizing supply chains. But quantum computers could enable us to solve these problems, unleashing untold opportunities for business. IBM Director of Research Arvind Krishna will describe how quantum computers have become a reality at IBM.

He’ll discuss what companies are doing to become “quantum ready” for a new era of computing. He’ll also present the roadmap for IBM Q, the first commercial quantum program that is expected to deliver powerful results for businesses within a few years.

Dr. D.J. Patil — Data Revolution

Dr. D.J. Patil, one of the most influential data scientists in the world, was tasked with making the largest organization in history — the U.S. Federal Government — a data driven enterprise. Patil shares his revolutionary vision, drawing from his involvement with transformative programs like the Precision Medicine Initiative, Cancer Moonshot, and Data-Driven Justice Initiative.
