IBM Canada has announced an IBM Client Innovation Center (CIC) for Fredericton, with plans to focus on delivering consulting services along with Robotic Process Automation, Oracle-based technologies, cloud, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain and more.
The Center creates up to 250 new jobs in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, which will contribute to strengthening the province’s technology sector and support businesses to accelerate digital transformation through increased access to talent and innovative technologies.
The New Brunswick CIC will be part of IBM’s global network of IBM Client Innovation Centers, which provide a proven model for technology and skills growth. The network now includes five centers across Canada, including Halifax, Montreal, Gatineau and the recently announced Client Innovation Center in Calgary (pictured).
“Canadian businesses are adopting technologies today including Hybrid Cloud and AI at an accelerated rate, and to deliver successful business transformation it is critical these businesses have the right skill set and talent in place. We are committed to supporting this growing need by expanding our network of Client Innovation Centers across Canada. The IBM CIC in New Brunswick will further support the province’s focus on fostering local tech talent, creating jobs and improving workforce skills training.”
