Embedded Solutions Agreement
The IBM Embedded Solutions Agreement (ESA) is a strategic partnership program designed to enable technology partners to leverage IBM’s cutting-edge technologies within their own solutions. This agreement allows partners to integrate IBM’s advanced technologies, such as AI, analytics, and security features, with their proprietary intellectual property to create comprehensive solutions that can be marketed under their own brand. The ESA is particularly beneficial for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) looking to enhance their product offerings with robust, market-leading capabilities from IBM.
IBM Embeddable AI
IBM Embeddable AI is a suite of enterprise-grade AI technologies that can be seamlessly integrated into partner applications. These embeddable AI libraries include components for natural language processing (NLP), speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and other advanced AI functionalities. By utilizing these libraries, partners can quickly and efficiently build AI-powered solutions without needing extensive in-house AI expertise. This allows for faster time-to-market and the ability to offer highly differentiated and sophisticated AI capabilities within their products.
Addressing market challenges
