BNP Paribas-IBM partnership
BNP Paribas established an equally owned joint venture BNP Paribas Partners for Innovation (BP2I) with IBM in 2003. The company developed its first cloud ten years later in 2013.
Now, the bank will integrate the IBM Cloud hosted in BNP Paribas data centres. It will also work to bolster Hybrid Cloud ‘As a Service’ capabilities through IBM Public Cloud solutions and support the development of new services.
Additionally, BNP Paribas will utilise IBM Hybrid Cloud solutions to enhance its services capabilities through Dedicated Cloud, Public Cloud and Private Cloud environments.
The move will help in streamlining integration procedures and optimise workload management between cloud infrastructures.
