S&P Global and IBM Partner to Enhance Supply Chain with AI

S&P Global and IBM have announced a strategic partnership to integrate IBM's watsonx Orchestrate AI framework into S&P Global's suite of offerings, beginning with supply chain management. This collaboration, announced in a press release, aims to provide businesses with AI-powered tools to address challenges in the global supply chain.

The new offering is designed to enhance insight and visibility into supply chain and vendor selection tools by leveraging AI agents and combining data across procurement, trade, country, and supplier risk domains. S&P Global will also develop new agents for IBM's watsonx Orchestrate Agent Catalog using its proprietary data, research, and analytics to expedite decision-making in supply chain management.

Beyond supply chain applications, S&P Global plans to integrate IBM AI technology with additional risk intelligence services in its Market Intelligence division. This initiative is part of S&P Global's broader vision for agentic AI, aiming to transform enterprise operations and enhance the value delivered to customers.
