Today
at a conference in New York, IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced it will make key
parts of its software portfolio available in a cloud computing
environment to more easily allow professors around the world to
incorporate technology into their curricula. IBM brought together more
than 200 academic and industry leaders at the conference to explore how
best to integrate technology into all aspects of a college education so
the next generation of global entrepreneurs will be differentiated by
an education that applies technology to areas such as information
management and business analytics, digitized patient records, and clean
technologies. IBM is working initially with 20 colleges and
universities across the United States to help them use a new Academic
Skills Cloud and will add additional schools over time. The new cloud
will provide academia an opportunity to use IBM software at no charge
without having to install and maintain it themselves. Cloud computing
is a new consumption and delivery model inspired by consumer Internet
services. Businesses are rapidly adopting cloud computing to use
information technology and services over a secure network. Available
video includes a narrated package, b-roll and interviews with
professors and students.
