The FastCompany Awards program recognizes the organizations that most effectively encourage innovation across the enterprise. They assess nearly 1,000 applications, and Globant was one of the 5 finalists in the International Category I firmly believe innovation is a way of work, not a mystical gift. The way we design our agile pods, training programs, and day to day routines is proof that a well thought of environment drives better outcomes. https://lnkd.in/enrmDS3F

A great way to understand the power of generative AI is to try it. We are actively running #watsonx pilots with clients to show what AI can do for enterprises. One example is Westfield Insurance. They wanted to use generative AI to accelerate application modernization and improve developer productivity. Together, we ran a pilot with IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Z that resulted in an 80% reduction in the time required for a developer to understand an application and a 30% reduction in the time needed for a developer to be able to explain and potentially document #code. This is #AI for Business. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eH-76aR3

For ecosystems to be truly value-producing for vendors, they need persistency and durability. Rather than thinking about ecosystems as the number of partners that can come together to address a single opportunity, vendors should look to foster relationships that are more hard-coded — multiple partners that work together consistently to capitalize on market opportunities.
