We ran a five week closed beta with twelve participants. Examples:
“…we were able to
quickly and easily
embed Watson's
capabilities into our
eyeQinsights platform
to provide an even
more personalized
shopping experience”
“we’re able to work with
cognitive computing
capabilities that we
couldn’t dream of
creating ourselves - it’s
a fantastic opportunity
and a real chance to
transform our industry”
“[this] is like putting the
Hubble telescope in the
hands of a backyard
astronomer… Watson’s
cognitive possibilities
alone will spawn a
completely new service
industry…”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/p4ehgzzqgk5doavs2lqc-signature-603012e3e5de138ff8a64bc3cebe66c72d2441cf5a69b8fd7f9efe89b325109f-poli-141016142906-conversion-gate02/75/Introduction-Watson-Services-on-IBM-Bluemix-Webcast-16-2048.jpg)

Editor's Notes
- #4 But imagine if you could take the skills, wisdom and experience of your organization’s top experts and scale that expertise across your entire organization, so all employees could perform at the level of your best employees.
- #6 Today, there is a convergence of mega trends that are resulting in phenomena known as Big Data. The proliferation of mobile devices, the explosion of social media, the benefit analytics brings to organizations, and the availability of Cloud applications. Big Data is not just about the volume of data. It is much more than that. It’s about the velocity, variety, and veracity. As IM partners, you understand and appreciate the challenges this brings.
- #8 This is where we are now. Let’s look to the future. The Watson Ecosystem was launched in late 2013. We will scale it in 2014 as we open the aperture to bring more partners onboard.
- #9 All of this has led us to a new era of computing: Cognitive Systems Era. This is significant in the history of computing – there have only been 2 previous ones. Tabulating systems era – the advent of the adding machine to tabulate the census Programmable Systems era – Fortran, Cobol, PL1, etc. Cognitive - Watson
- #12 But imagine if you could take the skills, wisdom and experience of your organization’s top experts and scale that expertise across your entire organization, so all employees could perform at the level of your best employees.
- #15 Brooks, what will be covered? current internal or to-be Oct 1 Will we have our own branding within BlueMix?
- #22 Thank you.
