IBM Goes Big On Big Data
March 25, 2013
IBM is probably the biggest name in big data when it comes to commercial, propriety vendors. The company is an established, household name and they continue to make great technological advances, the most notable being Watson the AI. When visiting the company’s Web site, IBM has gone above and beyond to set themselves apart from other Big Data companies. Take a look at the Smarter Analytics page they created. IBM is stressing the analytical aspect of big data and how their solutions cover software, research, hardware, and services:
“Big data is more than a matter of size; it is a way to uncover insights and opportunities from new and emerging internal and external sources of data and content. IBM’s big data capabilities include an enterprise-class big data platform, predictive and content analytics, and decision management to give your organization a competitive edge. IBM’s capabilities and signature solutions are designed to complement your existing information, analytics and content management infrastructure, so you can get started quickly and achieve game-changing results.”
Unlike other companies who spout what they have done, IBM provides video evidence documenting how big data has changed/helped companies. Several of those who benefited were T-Mobile, Vestas Wind Systems, NYSE Euronext, and Fiserv. IBM knows how to market itself as a viable big data solution. Unlike other companies it has the multi-generation appeal because of its longevity and new advances.
