IBM Cognitive Computing and Computacenter's Back Office Optimisation

LONDON - Dec. 6, 2016 - PRLog -- The role of IT is changing from a focus on back office applications and back office software to back office optimisation with an awareness of front office software. Computacenter believes that IT must come to center stage for companies and organisations to stay current with evolving digital technologies. The utilisation of cognitive technology and cognitive intelligence to mine data is the way forward in developing the IT of the future. Computacenter is working with IBM to create cognitive applications and develop cognitive solutions that inspire innovation across organisations.

The role of IT is changing. Paul Brown, Vice President and Partner Growth at IBM UK & Ireland, goes into depth about the dual role the CIO plays in today's evolving business world. The fundamental question being asked of CIOs is, "How can I do what I do, for less?" The answer turns toward back office optimisation, which means driving cost effectiveness across the company by making IT more agile, flexible and adaptable. But that's not all; CIOs must also consider the question, "How can I utilise data for competitive advantage?" This is where front office innovation and cognitive intelligence come into play.

Paul frames the important question: "How do you use cognitive technology to make and use the data that's in the organisation? How do you use systems that understand, reason and learn?" The amount of data in the world is growing exponentially every minute and companies need the right tools to access, curate and direct information in a way that benefits the entire organisation. In today's digital world, the rules are constantly changing and security and agility are top priorities when it comes to designing cognitive applications that will guide organisations smoothly into the future.
