With Watson you can_ Accelerate Research and

Discovery

The IBM Watson platform can process millions of

documents. Connect Watson to your

organization’s most important documents and

empower your employees.

24

Detect liabilities and mitigate risk

Watson is able understand regulations and detect

threat-related anomalies, helping protect your

organization from risk in various forms. Ensure

that your business stays up to date and secure at

all times. With Watson, some clients have

reported completing investigations up to 60

times faster than before. (Cog Security)

Recommend with Confidence

By teaching Watson about the parameters that

matter to you, you can always be confident in the

knowledge that you've taken every important

factor into account when making a decision or

recommendation.

Scale expertise and learning

Use Watson to capture all of this invaluable

knowledge and expertise and make it easily

accessible to a much wider segment of your

business. Spend 75% less time searching for

expert knowledge. (Woodside)

Enrich interactions

Train Watson on the most common requests

from your audience to ensure that their needs

are being met rapidly, and that every interaction

they have with your brand is engaging and

meaningful. With Watson, clients have reduce

response time from 38 hours to 6 min, and

increased the number of transactions they can

process by 54%. (Autodesk)

Assess and preempt disruptions

Use Watson to constantly monitor the condition

of your equipment and alert you immediately of

any issues that could lead to bigger, more

expensive problems down the road.
