The IBM New Watson Group seduces entrepreneurs, developers and future clients.
This is now official; IBM wants focus attentions
around its ability to emulate the expertise, technologies, and partners in terms of
Big data. The goal with this new IBM business unit is to develop
products and collaborate with start-ups on cloud-based cognitive apps and
services powered by Watson. The stakes are vital in terms of revenue and
solutions to problems. In fact within this ecosystem, the ability to capture, visualize,
and harness Big Data and enable analytics exploration is a key point.
At IBM, henceforth the vision is clear: The IBM Watson Group with more than $1 billion
investments announced, will focus on R&D and commercialization of software,
services and apps capable to discover answers to complex questions by analyzing
massive amounts of Big Data.
Connectikpeople.co has also captured three new services based on
Watson’s cognitive
intelligence:
IBM Watson Discovery Advisor aims to revolutionize how industries such as pharmaceutical and publishing
conduct research.
IBM Watson Analytics aims to allow
users to explore Big Data insights through visual representations, without the
need for advanced analytics training.
IBM Watson Explorer is designed
to help users across the enterprise uncover and share data-driven insights more
easily, while helping organizations launch big data initiatives more quickly.
Regarding the
entrepreneurs and start-ups, the Watson Group's Silicon Alley
headquarters will provide a business incubator offering the technology, tools
and talent to create and launch new products and businesses based on Watson's
cloud-delivered cognitive intelligence.
In addition, to host a design lab for continuously enhancing the user experiences
for cognitive applications and services, the Watson Group’s headquarters will
also provide a client solutions center, serving as a place for IBM clients to
experience cognitive technologies and learn how they can help transform their
businesses.
Finally, the Watson Group will also offer workshops and seminars on topics
such as development skills, as well as networking opportunities.
