NEW YORK, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In his keynote presentation at IBM's Think Digital event, IBM (NYSE: IBM) CEO Arvind Krishna urged companies to build resiliency into their businesses and their networks in response to the unprecedented challenges presented by COVID-19.
"History will look back on this as the moment when the digital transformation of business and society suddenly accelerated," Krishna said. "This is an opportunity to develop new solutions, new ways of working and new partnerships that will benefit your company and your customers, not just today, but for years to come."
IBM's annual event is taking place May 5 and 6 online exclusively, connecting clients, partners and thought leaders around the world.
During the opening keynote, Krishna called hybrid cloud and AI "the two dominant forces driving digital transformation." And he announced new offerings to help clients on that path:
"Technology platforms are the basis for competitive advantage in the 21st century," Krishna added. "They will determine how quickly you can pivot to new market opportunities, how well you serve your clients, how much you can scale, and how fast you can respond to a crisis like the one we're facing today."
