IBM and Trustmarque Ultima Predict Next Wave of AI Spending Will Be Driven by Partnerships
IBM and Trustmarque Ultima are betting that the next wave of AI spending will be driven by partners combining AI platforms, data, governance, and industry expertise to solve business problems.
The two organisations made this statement at Fusion Live 2026, highlighting how customers are moving from AI experimentation towards implementation.
Agentic AI, governance, and measurable business outcomes are gaining interest among organisations, with a focus on solving real-world challenges rather than just experimenting with technology.
