INTRODUCTION

IBM Cloud Pak® for Business Automation is a business automation platform with pre-integrated automation technologies and low-code tools to help customers quickly develop modern applications that intelligently automate business operations at scale. It enables to design, build and run automation applications and services anywhere, on the cloud of your choice using containers on Kubernetes.

In order to determine the differentiators, maintain a clear focus on the customer's perceptions. Sellers readily fall into a trap of "drinking their own bathwater" when deciding that what they are offering is unique. Relying on your brand as a differentiator is a common mistake in this area. While it is true that no one else can offer a solution with your logo on it, that alone does not constitute a benefit. Furthermore, your past performance may support your claim, but it is the people, processes, and tools applied to successful customer engagements that are the differentiators, not just the brand per se.

This article delves into the differentiators of IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation. These differentiators are the "Sweet Spots" that our customers need them, our competitors do not have them, and we have them all!
