IBM announces new Big Data capabilities on its Cloud Marketplace

Through a new Big Data service available on the IBM Cloud marketplace, organizations can now easily secure, access and manage content from anywhere and on any device.

Using this new service will allow knowledge workers to do their jobs more effectively and collaboratively by synchronizing and making the content they need available on any browser, desktop and mobile device they use every day, and to apply it in the context of key business processes. IBM Navigator on Cloud, now available on the IBM Cloud marketplace and built on Softlayer’s Cloud platform, will help all users within and outside of the business gain value from this ever-increasing deluge of content.

"With today's news, IBM is fulfilling an unmet need in the marketplace by providing a new service that combines enterprise-grade security, governance and integration with mobile and web apps that are easy to interact with and use. This new offering surpasses the promises of our competitors, and offers clients a simple and easy experience to learn, try, and buy it," said Doug Hunt, General Manager, Enterprise Content Management, IBM. 

Since the new service uses IBM’s ECM technology, an organization’s most demanding security, reliability and scalability concerns can be addressed without compromising productivity. In addition to being a secure, scalable and reliable platform, IBM Navigator on Cloud is also easy to use and delivered through a modern user experience. For instance, employees can quickly set up team collaboration areas that are accessible via the web and through a seamless mobile experience. Self-provisioning capabilities allow departments such as sales, human resources, finance or legal to easily customize the solution and content to meet their specific business needs.
