HCL Technologies and IBM have announced a new collaboration to establish a generative artificial Intelligence (GenAI) centre of excellence (CoE). This initiative aims to train 10,000 HCLTech engineers and architects in IBM’s AI technologies, specifically ‘watsonx’. IBM’s watsonx is an AI and data platform built for business.

According to the release, the CoE will be available through HCLTech’s AI and cloud native labs in Noida, London, New Jersey, and Santa Clara in the US. It will assist enterprises in modernising legacy applications, developing IT service management use cases, reducing coding complexity, improving skill development on the watsonx platform, and enabling continuous innovation.

Further, the CoE will offer clients access to education and training resources covering diverse AI technologies, including watsonx.ai. This will help skill their resources and provide a platform for building use cases.
