The Latest Chapter In IBM’s Quest To Build A Cloud For Banks

In November of 2019, in a pre-pandemic world that seems an age ago, I wrote the first article about the collaboration between IBM and Bank of America to develop a financial services-ready public cloud. In May of 2020, I previewed an update announcing the first round of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) partners who announced intent to onboard to IBM’s financial services-ready cloud. In July 2020, I chronicled significant progress in the project as BNP Paribas announced it would be the first anchor customer in Europe.
