By bringing together AI capabilities from both companies, Google Cloud’s strength in developer-centric design with IBM’s strengths in hybrid cloud, data management, and automation, we can help clients build a more unified and flexible foundation for their AI and cloud strategies.

IBM products and services are helping clients orchestrate, deploy and govern AI across hybrid environments," said Arvind Krishna, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Given this strong start, we continue to expect more than 5 percent constant currency revenue growth and an increase of about $1 billion in year-over-year free cash flow in 2026."
