AI-driven insights

Your data holds tremendous value, particularly for AI and analytics but raw data is often stuck in silos or missing key context. The sheer volume of enterprise data makes matters worse. How can you separate the signal from the noise and put your most meaningful data to work, whether it’s structured or unstructured? 

Watsonx.data intelligence leverages metadata to discover, curate and govern data assets across on prem and public, private or hybrid cloud environments. That makes life easier for data engineers, architects, stewards and consumers. 

 
Data insights made easy

Discover the data that matters most 

AI-powered capabilities unify, enrich and curate your data—both structured and unstructured—helping you derive meaning from once siloed sources.

 Strong frameworks, trustworthy AI

Knowledge Accelerators facilitate speed and standardization, helping you deliver high-quality, compliant and business-ready data.

 Less effort, more meaning 

Data stewards save time and effort through automated data discovery, enrichment, classification, glossary generation, impact analysis and quality scoring. 

 Smart made simple 

An intuitive, natural language interface helps users of any skill level access and leverage data. 

IBM named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Metadata Management Solutions

Recognized for its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

Learn why

Simplify data intelligence, supercharge AI 

Data governance and catalog

Automatically labels and contextualizes vast amounts of metadata  - from both structured and unstructured sources - and stores it in an easily searchable catalog.

 See how
By the numbers 110% productivity boost

Data stewards can increase their productivity by automating critical tasks that create high-quality, reliable and secure datasets.1 

 90% time saved by data engineers

By streamlining data management, data engineers can reduce the time they spend on optimizing processes.1

 95% time savings for data consumers

Self-service data solutions that discover, access and understand data can drastically reduce manual effort for data consumers.1
Automate quality at scale 

AI needs accurate, consistent and trustworthy data that doesn’t require manual maintenance. And when data quality issues inevitably arise, they need to be promptly identified, prioritized and remediated. That’s why watsonx.data intelligence features tools that automate data profiling, data cleansing and data validation.
