IBM secured FedRAMP authorization for 11 AI and automation software solutions, including several from the watsonx portfolio, enabling deployment on AWS GovCloud (U.S.) and allowing federal agencies to use these capabilities without managing underlying infrastructure.
The authorizations were achieved through a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services that includes investment to accelerate delivery of AI and automation solutions for federal agencies. The agreement underscores IBM’s commitment to expanding its presence in the public sector.
The 11 solutions represent a four‑fold increase in IBM’s FedRAMP portfolio within a single year, a significant expansion that positions IBM to capture a larger share of the federal market. The four‑fold increase indicates a rapid scaling of IBM’s compliant AI offerings, though the exact prior count is not disclosed.
"Federal agencies need reliable, secure ways to harness the power of advanced AI and automation capabilities. Obtaining authorization for these 11 software solutions within a single year constitutes a four‑fold increase in IBM's FedRAMP portfolio, and underscores both our commitment to meeting the evolving technology needs of U.S. federal agencies and our ongoing investment in the U.S. federal market. Through our strategic collaboration with AWS, we were able to accelerate delivery of compliant, mission‑ready capabilities," said Vanessa Hunt, General Manager, Technology, U.S. Federal Market, IBM.
"This strategic collaboration with IBM marks a significant milestone in our shared commitment to delivering secure, mission‑ready AI solutions for federal agencies. Together, we're helping government organizations modernize at the speed of mission while maintaining the security, compliance, and reliability that critical operations require," added Amy Belcher, Director, Worldwide Public Sector ISV Sales, AWS.
The FedRAMP authorization is a critical regulatory milestone that enables IBM to offer its AI and automation solutions to federal agencies, a market that requires strict compliance. By securing 11 authorized solutions, IBM expands its portfolio and strengthens its position in the public sector, supporting its broader strategy to grow software revenue and accelerate AI adoption across government.
