IBM brings scalable GenAI to hybrid cloud, unlocking unstructured data and cutting integration time across complex systems. The company is doubling down on GenAI for enterprise use, addressing one of the biggest hurdles: fragmented tech ecosystems. At its THINK 2025 event, IBM unveiled upgrades to its watsonx suite—focused on helping businesses build, deploy, and scale AI agents across hybrid environments. With most enterprises managing a patchwork of tools and data, integration is a constant bottleneck. IBM’s GenAI strategy cuts through this complexity.
The watsonx Orchestrate platform now supports no-code to pro-code agent creation. Businesses can build custom GenAI agents in under five minutes and integrate them with over 80 leading business apps. Prebuilt agents for HR, procurement, and sales simplify use, while orchestration capabilities manage coordination between tools. IBM has also launched an Agent Catalog with 150+ ready-to-use agents and tools from partners like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Oracle.
Unlocking unstructured data is another challenge GenAI tackles. Most enterprise knowledge hides in PDFs, spreadsheets, and slide decks. IBM’s upgraded watsonx.data platform activates this dormant data. It delivers up to 40% more accurate GenAI outputs than traditional retrieval methods. Tools like watsonx.data intelligence and integration orchestrate data across formats and pipelines. Turning messy documents into usable insights.
To run this at scale, IBM is boosting infrastructure. LinuxONE 5, the latest AI-optimized server, processes up to 450 billion inferences daily. It combines on-chip AI acceleration, quantum-safe encryption, and energy savings. Together, these GenAI enhancements help enterprises cut integration time, reduce cost, and build data-smart systems—fast.
