Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

The IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog is most well suited for large companies. With large companies storing data for a long amount of time, this can be helpful to allow all team members to find documents with ease. It would be less appropriate for storage that is deleted very often or does not needs to be saved for long amounts of time.

IBM
  • The negative note: is that it needs to have a very secure cloud infrastructure and with its data well defined for integration with other databases.
  • The positive point: allows for quick data discoveries aiding a quick implementation of privacy programs.
