IBMs Watson Analytics for the Average Businessperson
October 6, 2014
The article on Geekzone titled IBM Introduces Powerful Analytics For Everyone discusses the recent announcement from IBM. The promise of an natural language-based analytics that is easier to get and to use is meant to cater to the modern businessperson. Three major advances in analytics technology have been applied to Watson Analytics including a streamlined “single business analytics experience”, a guided predictive analytics” that brings relevant material to the surface, and finally a “natural language dialogue” in familiar business jargon. Senior Vice President Bob Picciano explains in the article,
“Watson Analytics is designed to help all business people – from sales reps on the road to company CEOs – see patterns, pursue ideas and improve all types of decisions. We have eliminated the barrier between the answers they seek, the analytics they want and the data in the form they need. The combination of Watson-fueled analytics to magnify human cognition, the vast potential of big data, and cloud-scale delivery to PCs, smart phones and other devices is transformational.”
IBM has kept the actual businessperson in mind, the businessperson who spends half of their time collecting accurate data. By automating many of the steps in analysis, Watson analytics aims to aid in the efficiency and relevance of the analysis at hand.

I think everything typed made a lot of sense.
However, think about this, what if you were to create a awesome title?
I am not suggesting your content is not good,
however suppose you added something that makes people desire more?

Stephen E. Arnold @ Beyond Search is a little plain. You should
look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create post titles to grab people to click.
You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. Just my
opinion, it might bring your website a little livelier.
