Why invest in a platform for big data & analytics?

Organizations know they must leverage big data and analytics to outperform the competition, manage risk, create IT agility and make better decisions.

They require an architecture that capitalizes on all types of data, including real-time information, that expands their analytics to include predictive and new cognitive capabilities while also being proactive about privacy, security and governance.

IBM makes it possible to manage all of these priorities while significantly reducing storage and maintenance costs through a new architecture, Next Generation Architecture for Big Data & Analytics. The Next Generation Architecture encompasses the capabilities of Watson Foundations and you can start where you are, build on what you have and scale at your own pace.
