Todd "Turbo" Watson -- IBM Corporation
The Business of Business lntelligenceAfter a circus ring performance by Air Canada yesterday at the Toronto airport (flight cancelled, sent like cattle rushing to another gate, continual delays), I did finally arrive safe and sound in NYC, just in time to attend Hillary Clinton's Super Duper Tuesday campaign celebration. Only somehow Bill and Hill forgot to send me my invite, so instead, I watched the campaign returns on the Times Square ticker tapes before eventually retiring to the Booth Theatre to get back in touch with my Irish roots (okay, I'm not really of Irish heritage, but I really like Guinness beer). Judging from Conor McPherson's gripping new play "The Seafarer," that oughta be enough. The TKTS gods smiled upon me with a front row seat, and after my soul was stirred I transitioned from familial Irish politics to those of the U.S. national kind, taking in even more information about the Super Duper Tuesday returns. But I gotta tell ya, watching John and Wolf with all those charts, graphs, and other CNN interactive visualization stimuli after a long night of carefully listening to Irish cursing and my earlier wanderings at the Toronto Pearson airport, made my head spin on multiple axis. So this morning's announcements regarding IBM's Information on Demand strategy, and the role our newly-acquired Cognos team will play in helping bring insight to information, couldn't have come at a better time. Its essence: Cognos can help turn your information on demand into useful useful and actionable business intelligence, and includes new industry vertical solutions, pre-integrated Cognos offerings, and infrastructure services that can help you get started.

Red P, I'd be happy to join you. I made a sidetrip to Dublin during an IBM business trip to England back in 1996, and though I missed The Gravity Bar, I did find that the fresh-out-of-the-keg Guiness was most refreshing. <div> </div> I had my first such pint on the ferry crossing from Holyhead to Dublin. Unfortunately, my traveling companion at the time wasn't able to partake due to our rough crossing of the Irish Sea. I won't describe my friend's condition in any greater detail than to say it was due to rollicking waves.<div> </div> I *did* make the trip to the Guinness Brewery, and absolutely enjoyed the trip down Guinness advertising history memory lane as we made our way through the tour exhibit. <div> </div> And in that spirit, lest you forget that old Gaelic saying: <div> </div> "Faol saol agat, gob fliuch, agus bás in Éirinn."(Long life to you, a wet mouth, and death in Ireland.)
