If you're like many businesses, it can be a struggle to organize and deal with the complexity and amount of data that comes in your door, and to use the most relevant data available across the business, let alone get it ready for new AI workloads. Data professionals can't always easily find and access the data they need. Very often, they spend more than 80 percent of their time locating the right data which leaves just 20 percent of their time left to use that data for analytics. With the complexity of new and emerging data types, data professionals also have to take more time to examine and sort through many new and different types of data. What's more, there are many regulations about how you can use and share data which can further slow down the process of using your data for growth. Luckily, there's a solution to the chaos of finding, understanding, trusting, and sharing data, and the resulting loss of AI based business opportunities. IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog is a collaborative enterprise asset catalog that's designed to discover and catalog enormous volumes of complex data and analytic assets spread across multiple sources and provide advanced features for collaborative work with data that helps to fuel new AI based business growth. To help combat the issue of working with large amounts of data that's spread out across the organization, Watson Knowledge Catalog can connect to a diverse set of data sources, on-premises or in the cloud, including RDBMS, NoSQL, file systems Hadoop, and more, so you can get your hands on the right information wherever it lives, faster than ever. Because understanding and trusting your information is essential to delivering quality AI and analytical results with confidence, Watson Knowledge Catalog uses the power of Watson technology to enrich its metadata index of information with classification, profiling, and quality assessment content, and provides intelligent recommendations on the most relevant data assets that meets your needs. To unlock access to the data that has been previously unavailable to AI application development, Watson Knowledge Catalogs active policy enforcement capabilities can control access to information assets and support automatic and dynamic masking of sensitive data elements that unlocks information, and safely powers collaborative development of all data for business growth. To enable your data for use in model creation and training so you can accelerate AI for new business opportunities, Watson Knowledge Catalog curates and catalogs all kinds of analytical and AI assets including structured and unstructured data, notebooks, models, dashboards, and more, and to support all forms of AI including machine learning and deep learning while ensuring that data scientists can deliver models efficiently. Watson Knowledge Catalog is tightly integrated with Watson Studio, a single environment that manages the entirety of your data at AI workflows.
