Elementary AI my dear Watson…and Einstein: IBM, Salesforce strike landmark Artificial Intelligence deal - Computer Business Review

IBM's Bluewolf will set up a new practice to help clients rapidly deploy the combined IBM Watson and Salesforce Einstein capabilities. It might sound like some strange hybrid scientific detective novel, but Einstein and Watson are coming together in a landmark deal struck between Saleforce and IBM. The two giants of tech will partner to deliver solutions designed to leverage artificial intelligence, with IBM bringing its cognitive platform Watson to the table alongside Salesforce Einstein, the AI behind the CRM platform. Effectively, this means that IBM will be able to sell consulting services across both Einstein and Watson AI businesses. Watson will be available directly from the Salesforce Intelligent Customer Success Platform, combining deep customer insights from Salesforce Einstein with Watson's structured and unstructured data across many sources and industries including weather, healthcare, financial services and retail.
