IBM Enterprise Search without Watson
September 6, 2015
Where’s Watson?
The question was not answered at this IBM Enterprise Search page.
After the hyperbole added to the Watson search, smart software, analytics, cancer curing, recipe making thing—I expected more from Big Blue.
The verbiage and the list of sources does not allude to Watson, the future of informatio0n access.
What I learned was:
- OmniFind is still with us
- Search requires IBM Content Analytics
- If you want to index DB2, you have to license the IBM InfoSphere Federation Server
- Lots of hardware and storage are on the horizon either on premises or in the cloud or via a hybrid solution.
Confused? Not me.
I expected more than a collection of ageing systems which must be built from dozens of components.
In my opinion, enterprise search at IBM has been designed to create consulting and engineering services revenue.
Maybe Watson cannot answer this question for IBM, “What is the optimal way to facilitate information access with Watson?”
The void speaks loudly to me.
