Atlas Cloud
Services (ACS), a subsidiary of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, has
partnered with IBM and Power Maroc to deploy IBM’s watsonx AI platform across
Moroccan enterprises, marking a significant leap in the country’s Digital
Morocco 2030 strategy.
The
collaboration integrates IBM’s AI suite—including watsonx.ai, Cloud Pak for
Data, and Watsonx Orchestrate—into ACS’s cloud marketplace, addressing critical
barriers like data fragmentation and implementation costs.
The initiative
will equip businesses with tools for intelligent automation, fraud detection,
and supply chain optimization, supported by Power Maroc’s infrastructure
expertise on IBM Power10 systems and Red Hat OpenShift.
ACS aims to
derive 30% of its revenue from AI services within two years, reflecting
Morocco’s push to position itself as a regional AI hub. IBM Morocco’s Mimoun
Ouchaou emphasized the partnership’s role in scaling AI-driven competitiveness
for local enterprises.
