ABSTRACT:
IBM Watson’s cognitive capabilities are transforming industries like healthcare, higher education, retail and consumer products, to name a few.

Imagine if you could find new, related pathways in your data to make discoveries in a fraction of the time you could before. Imagine a world where information presented itself at the point of possibility, decisions were made with all available evidence, and the expertise of your entire organization was available on demand. This is the power of what can be achieved with Cognitive Computing. IBM Watson, a cognitive system, is the new competitive advantage. In this session, you will get a look at what is next for cognitive computing, and learn how you can capture a sustained competitive advantage today by tapping into the transformative power of IBM Watson.
