The new software will enable clients to apply foundational elements of cognitive intelligence throughout their IT infrastructure. This will enable employees to gain insights from Big Data instead of focusing on how to cope with its sheer volume. Such insights can help predict and prevent IT downtime, improve productivity and generate cost savings.

IBM's latest Big Data technologies help organizations transition to a new era in computing where systems can learn, reason, sense, predict and enhance decision making. Cognitive systems, such as IBM's Watson, can "understand" the context within users' questions, uncover answers from Big Data, and improve performance by continuously learning from experiences.

Steve Mills, senior vice president and group executive, software and systems at IBM, said: "As the value of data continues to grow, the differentiator for clients will be around predicting what could happen to help transform their business with speed and conviction. IBM's latest set of solutions allow clients to help predict customer behavior and outcomes with speed and ease, all delivered from the cloud."
