IBM Unveils Platform to Integrate All Data Types for AI-Powered Decision-Making - insideBIGDATA

IBM (NYSE: IBM) unveiled "Project DataWorks," a Watson initiative that is a cloud-based data and analytics platform to integrate all types of data and enable AI-powered decision-making. Project DataWorks is designed to make it simple for business leaders and data professionals to collect, organize, govern and secure data, so they can gain the insights needed to become a cognitive business. Businesses today understand the competitive advantage of gaining insights from data. However, obtaining those insights can be increasingly complex, and most of this work is done by highly skilled data professionals who work in silos with disconnected tools and data services that may be difficult to manage, integrate, and govern. Also, because data is never static, businesses must continually iterate their data models and products--often manually--to benefit from the most relevant, up-to-date insights.
