Winning with Machine Learning
Monetizing the data behind your firewall

With the exponential growth in data, 80% of which is unstructured, the business benefit of using machine learning to seek out opportunities is massive. Amongst a survey of large companies, 76% indicated they are targeting higher sales growth with machine learning.

Join us to learn how organizations can take machine learning out of the laboratory and into wide-scale, commercial use so that continuous intelligence can be applied throughout the enterprise. We will share some practical tips on how to get started with machine learning as well as IBM’s plans to use machine learning to infuse cognitive capabilities across our private cloud data and analytics portfolio to unlock the value of the data behind your firewall.

There will be two specific tracks covered on the day, one will focus on the area of Data Management and the second will focus on Data Analytics.
