IBM recently announced details of a strategic partnership with Workday whereby the IBM Cloud will become the platform of choice for Workday’s development and testing environment. Workday, which specializes in cloud-based applications for human resources and financial management, will use the IBM Cloud to support its growth and enrich its development and testing process for application development. IBM’s partnership with Workday represents a notable milestone with respect to the demonstration of its ability to court enterprise customers, particularly given a slew of recent reports from Deutsche Bank, Gartner and other analyst firms that claim IBM is losing ground to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and the Google Cloud Platform in the battle for cloud market share. Workday plans to expand its use of the IBM Cloud beyond development and testing as the multi-year partnership progresses.
