What if an enterprise had all the answers
it needs to succeed?
Imagine a system
which does not just
provide access to
information for us,
but instead directly
give us an answer to
our question?!
On February 14, 2011, IBM Watson changed history introducing a system that rivaled a human’s ability to answer questions posed in natural language with speed, accuracy and confidence.
