Introduction Excellent onboarding and an industry leading learning culture will set you up for positive impact and success, whilst ongoing development will advance your career through an upward trajectory. Our sales environment is collaborative and experiential. Part of a team, you'll be surrounded by bright minds and keen co-creators - always willing to help and be helped - as you apply passion to work that will compel our clients to invest in IBM's products and services. Your Role and Responsibilities Today, most organizations are transitioning from a traditional infrastructure of separate, static physical systems to a dynamic mix of on-premises, managed cloud, private cloud, and public cloud environments, running on virtualized or software-defined resources that scale and reconfigure constantly. Applications and systems across these environments generate a tsunami of data that keeps growing. In fact, Gartner estimates that the average enterprise IT infrastructure generates two to three times more IT operations data every year. The shift to Hybrid Cloud computing brings new requirements to integrate applications across various environments with consideration for integrations that are fit for purpose for the workload or application. Traditional point solutions can provide a single style of integration capability (i.e. Point to Point messaging, Enterprise Services Bus, Large File Transfer, API, Event Based Integration, etc). This means that for an integration specialist to perform their job they potentially have to work across technologies from multiple vendors with different interfaces, programming models, and deployment patterns. This makes delivering consistent and scalable integration solutions extremely difficult. IBM Cloud Pak for Integration, delivers on the promise of a single integrated integration platform that provides all of the integration capabilities that our customers need to successfully build robust integration solutions. These capabilities include: Point to Point messaging, Application connections, API's, Message Brokering, Security Gateway, Large File Transfers, and Kafka based Event Management. These capabilities are delivered in a single integrated platform product, Cloud Pak for Integration. Now clients can leverage the right integration style for the right job and be assured to have the same experience across the platform thereby reducing training, increasing reuse, reducing cost, and achieving higher quality integrations. In addition to the modernization trends surrounding Integration, customers are also wrestling with the need to refactor existing applications to allow for portability, scalability, adaptation to the cloud and to relieve technical and feature debt so as to bring the necessary innovations needed to provide better business outcomes. IBM Cloud Pak for Applications delivers a comprehensive set of solutions within a single platform which allows customers to review their code and applications, provide transformational suggestions, deliver updated code within a world-class container platform leveraging a platform allowing them to manage their complex, hybrid environment. IBM leverages a suite of DevSecOps tools to help customers accomplish code modernization and manage the CI/CD pipelines for innovative application delivery.
