As we increasingly experience the “Internet of Everything”, processing power is increasing in everything from watches to smartphones to computers, vehicles and devices we haven’t yet imagined. At the same time, the amount of data being collected into knowledge bases has given rise to artificial intelligence systems such as IBM’s Watson, which stunned the world by besting two unbeaten Jeopardy champions on national television.

What if every business could harness that kind of intelligence, which increasingly appears like real cognition? Now they can, without the need to invest millions in hardware and millions more in software. Thanks to the integration of Watson services and IBM Bluemix, every business can affordably access Watson’s AI to create applications that streamline business processes and slash the effort and cost to deliver the smartest of smart applications.

Attend this 3-part TechBytes series presented by Slashdot Media and sponsored by IBM to hear inventor and industry expert Marek Sadowski discuss three key areas:

• Taking Cognitive Computing to the Next Level with AI and IBM Watson
• How IBM Watson and AI will Influence Industries Worldwide
• Hijacking the Internet of Things with IBM Watson

Register now for these events and be one of the first to learn how to adapt the world’s leading AI platforms with simple to implement cloud tools.

About the presenter:

Marek Sadowski is a mobile full stack developer advocate, a robotics startup founder and an entrepreneur, who moved to Silicon Valley to promote IoT and robotics solutions driven by AI and Cloud. He shows live demos on how IoT and robots could get cognitive with IBM Watson.

As the consumerization of IT accelerates, healthcare and insurance organizations are being challenged to adopt hybrid mobile solutions that let users, patients, providers and partners access – and enter – business critical information from an ever-increasing range of mobile devices. Who is driving mobile adoption, and how can your organization ensure it will be competitive?

This TechBytes series, presented by Slashdot Media and sponsored by IBM will look at three industries that are leading the mobility parade: Finance and banking, retail and hospitality, and healthcare and insurance. Each TechBytes segment will focus on one of these key industries, and industry experts will address key questions including:

• What market trends are shaping how mobility is being employed?
• Are new user interface models required for an increasingly millennial user base?
• Can BYOD work in highly regulated industries like healthcare?
• How can organizations accelerate their mobile adoption?
• What are the most important considerations for embracing mobility
• Can mobile solutions truly be secure?

Moving to a modern data warehouse platform can help business growth and expansion.

This e-book will explore the four key facts you need to consider when evaluating your data warehouse options. IBM PureData® System for Analytics N3001- the next generation of the IBM PureData System for Analytics family of appliances- is designed with these facts in mind.

Customers’ embrace of the web and smart phones creates massive new data sets, many of them unstructured or semi-structured. These include opinions, preferences, chat and email transcripts, and web clickstreams. The hardware and software technologies underpinning first generation warehouses were not designed to manage data at today’s volume or variety. While coercing older technologies to satisfy new demands may be possible, the results are inefficient and burdened with unplanned, unnecessary costs.

PureData System for Analytics has been designed, integrated and optimized to deliver data services to today's demanding applications with simplicity, speed and lower cost.
