How the IBM TechXchange Sticker Hunt Reveals the Power of the Partner Ecosystem? The Sticker Scavenger Hunt at IBM TechXchange offered a powerful lens into IBM’s partner ecosystem. With a water bottle featuring 24 empty hexagons, I spent 2.5 hours engaging with IBM Partners across the sandbox. Each sticker collected told a unique story of collaboration, specialization, and co-innovation. I explored technology like Red Hat and HashiCorp, both acquired by IBM, other solution providers such as Preset and Superset, industry specialists, and service innovators. All working alongside IBM to extend capabilities and deliver complete solutions. Along the way, I earned 1500 points, advanced to 4th place on the leaderboard, and walked away with real insights into 20+ partner integrations. Beyond the hunt, I participated in a hands-on lab on automating watsonx.data intelligence using the Watson Data API. The lab demonstrated how automated data lineage, metadata enrichment, and cataloging can streamline data management, enhance transparency, and empower business users with access to trusted data. This is where IBM’s partner ecosystem plays a critical role, providing the integrations and services that turn data intelligence into action I also attended key sessions including Deloitte’s “The AI Adoption Journey: Insights from the Front Lines,” Dell Technologies’s “IBM and Dell’s Future Computing Today,” and had a great conversation with Visa about their partnership with IBM. I’ll share more from those in an upcoming recap newsletter. The biggest takeaway? IBM is not only a technology provider, bus an orchestrator of an ecosystem. Today's announcement of IBM's partnership with Anthropic to integrate Claude AI into IBM's software portfolio exemplifies this approach perfectly. Partners fill capability gaps, accelerate delivery, bring deep industry knowledge, and co-create solutions that no single vendor could deliver alone. The sticker hunt went beyond collecting badges, mapping the future of enterprise innovation one partner at a time.
