ARMONK, N.Y., March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM)
today announced that global research firm Gartner has positioned
IBM as a Leader in two newly published Gartner Magic Quadrant
reports: the 2021 Magic Quadrant for Cloud AI Developer
Services1 and the 2021 Magic Quadrant for Data Science
and Machine Learning Platforms2.
"IBM is focused on AI for business and helping customers reclaim
precious time through automation, generate critical insights
through natural language processing, and foster trust in outcomes
derived from AI," said Daniel
Hernandez, General Manager, Data and AI, IBM. "We believe
these new recognitions from Gartner underscore the value we're
bringing to businesses through our strategy and our strong
innovation pipeline between IBM Research and IBM Watson."
The 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud AI Developer Services
says, "This Magic Quadrant addresses the AI services that software
engineering leaders need to enable powerful, next-generation
applications". IBM is recognized as a Leader based on completeness
of vision and ability to execute. IBM continues to enhance its
portfolio of language, vision and AutoAI products, which includes
IBM Watson Assistant, IBM Watson Discovery, IBM Watson Natural
Language Understanding, IBM Watson Studio, IBM Maximo Visual
Inspection and more, to give developers the easy-to-use tools
they need to build AI solutions rapidly.
According to the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Science
and Machine Learning Platforms, "This report assesses 20 vendors of
platforms that data scientists and others can use to source data,
build models and operationalize machine learning." IBM is
recognized for completeness of vision and ability to execute. IBM
designed IBM Watson Studio on IBM Cloud Pak for Data to provide
end-to-end AI lifecycle management for both experts and citizen
data scientists and developers, and it provides strong support for
explainability, fairness and governance to help businesses build AI
models that they can trust.
Businesses across industries continue to turn to IBM Watson and
IBM Maximo products to infuse intelligence into their
workflows.
"We've started to use Watson Studio to help us gain a much
deeper understanding of consumer behavior across theaters and are
excited to expand usage of this product within our business," said
Reena Mathews, Senior Director of
Analytics, AMC Theatres.
"By greatly simplifying the process of training, deploying and
running computer vision models, IBM Maximo Visual Inspection (MVI)
has helped us to meet our delivery deadlines even with fast
evolving requirements. MVI contains all the ingredients to quickly
empower subject matter experts in the maritime industry to build
applications without coding or deep learning expertise. Putting AI
innovation directly into the hands of experts has been possible
using MVI as it offloads most of the tedious tasks enabling a quick
deployment of new models," said Don
Scott, Director of Engineering, Submergence Group.
To give businesses, data scientists and developers the
capabilities they need to scale AI, IBM is continually bringing new
innovations to IBM Watson from IBM Research in the core areas of
natural language processing (NLP), trust and automation. In 2020,
IBM unveiled advanced NLP capabilities from IBM Research
Project Debater in IBM Watson, expanded its AI-powered automation
capabilities with the launch of IBM Watson AIOps
and announced AI Factsheets, a new methodology for
embedding trust and transparency into the development of AI models
coming to Watson Studio in Cloud Pak for Data in 2021.
