IBM Watson Analytics

IBM Watson Analytics helps you to explore data and to discover predictive insights hidden in your data in minutes time.  A Freemium version is available and we can identify the advantages it provides in a short duration.

Explore, Predict and Assemble are three primary features available through IBM Watson Analytics.  An initial data load is required before using these features.  There are tutorials available after login, which provide us an idea of how these features can be used.

Apart from the tutorials, a tour comes with each feature, which explains the steps to be used to gain value from the feature.

IBM Watson Analytics is a boon for enterprises.
