Introduction

You will join our ANZ Cloud Advisory team within IBM's Cloud Application Innovation unit. This is a key growing business area for IBM. IBM is on the forefront of cloud and the leader of Hybrid Cloud. With virtually all clients expected to accept some form of cloud strategy, opportunity for personal growth and success in this role is high. We continue to reinvent ourselves as we focus on client's IT needs that seek real business problems.

We live in an amazing time of technological enablement. The convergence of social, mobile, cloud, big data analytics and cognitive computing drives clients to redefine their enterprise agenda. This new agenda is transforming businesses, from relationships with customers and ecosystem partners to every aspect of internal operations and workforce culture. Decision makers – whether CEOs, CMOs, COOs, mayors, educators, physicians and public safety officials – are turning to technology as the key to innovating their business models, not simply expunging operational cost. Further, the role of the CIO has evolved from back-office operational oversight to leadership in driving customer experiences across products, services, channels and markets.

Around the world, IBMers' expertise in advanced research, cognitive computing, information analytics and the integration with new technologies helps clients envision the future and succeed. What services and solutions drive performance for clients and enables a better world is also a great opportunity for you.
