Story
Materials work at AkzoNobel spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the Netherlands. Model serving was splitting across regional habits. ML and product teams asked for a shared way to run applied AI delivery without freezing local judgment.
IBM (Red Hat OpenShift) is what they standardized on. IBM offers hybrid cloud, AI, and automation software, including watsonx, Red Hat OpenShift, and observability products for large enterprises. AkzoNobel uses it as the system of record for model serving, with ML and product teams as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
