Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog
Data Catalogue is still not a widely adopted concept particularly because of the maturity level of information technology as a concept in capital intensive industries. I can speak particularly for the Energy sector where there is a gradual shift towards managing data as a service. Efforts are being made to look at the holistic system capabilities and IBM Watson Knowledge Catalogue definitely made the cut.
- Ready to use data catalog experience with years of IBM consulting experience is helpful.
- Particularly helpful if the client is in the IBM ecosystem like IBM Maximo.
- Effective asset data management ready to deploy tools.
- I think an industry-specific data catalog service will be good.
- Effective alignment of IBM consulting services and bringing in an Industry point of view will be great.
- Effective reach out like roadshows, etc. will be good.
- Too early to determine ROI.
- I have had cases where IBM Watson has been offered with a suite of services
- With strengths in enterprise asset management, it has a lot of potential to be the platform of choice.
Azure is definitely a strong competition considering that it has machine learning capabilities too.
