The adoption of IBM public cloud supports Daimler's digital
transformation and increases their agility and scalability in the
after-sales area
ARMONK, New York, July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE:
IBM) and Daimler announced that they have expanded
their agreement and Daimler will implement an intelligent
cloud solution and migrate its global after-sales portal to the IBM
public cloud. This will allow Daimler to drive innovation, while
also benefiting from one of the industry's most open and secure
public clouds for business.
The global after-sales portal is key for Daimler's market
activities, supporting workshop processes in the retail sector. In
order to meet the growing demands of the portal core products, the
company was looking for a new technical platform to improve agility
and scalability, while maintaining a high level of security.
The platform, based on the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, is
designed to allow the client to transform the application into a
modern and scalable microservices architecture. Hosting its portal
on IBM public cloud will help Daimler scale as needed and quickly
introduce new offerings to help meet the needs of its users. At the
same time, the data will be transferred and stored in the IBM
public cloud, which is protected by comprehensive security
capabilities, such as IBM Hyper Protect Services, accommodating
Daimler's highest requirements for the protection of sensitive
data.
"As organizations redefine their operations by adopting public
cloud, they're able to drive innovation and modernize their
infrastructures, while still prioritizing security," said
Howard Boville, Senior Vice
President, IBM Cloud. "IBM public cloud provides industry-leading
encryption capabilities that give our clients exclusive control of
their keys and data, delivering our highest level of protection for
our clients sensitive data; a key requirement for business across
all highly regulated industries."
Leveraging IBM public cloud will offer a significant number of
advantages; it is designed to be highly scalable, and therefore the
efficient administration of the services can help to lower
subsequent costs. Furthermore, critical services in the IBM Cloud's
multi-zone regions achieve 99.99% platform availability, thus
providing reliable operation.
