Cognitive 101: Cognitive Apps for the Enterprise

At the beginning of my tech sales career, I learned quickly that hardware, software, and services could help address and achieve the challenges and goals of my enterprise clients. To get there, I had to do as Tony Sarris, founder of N2Semantics says, "ping, discover, act and learn." I "pinged" databases and experts; I analyzed and "discovered" info and resources along the way; I "acted" on my business savvy and put together the A team -- with whom I would "learn" from and built integration-able solutions for my clients. When I think of Cognitive Apps today, I think of the "ping, discover, act and learn" dance. Well, because, as I see it, it is part of the challenges that cognitive apps need to address to work ( understand, reason and learn).
