Integration with IBM Cloud Pak for Data

InfoSphere® MDM can publish data to IBM® Cloud Pak for Data through specialized services.

Cloud Pak for Data unifies and simplifies the way you collect, organize, and analyze data. Enterprises can turn data into insights through an integrated cloud-native architecture. Cloud Pak for Data is extensible and easily customized to unique client data and AI landscapes through an integrated catalog of IBM, open-source, and third-party microservices add-ons.

Depending on your license, you might be entitled to use one or more of the following Cloud Pak for Data services alongside InfoSphere MDM.

IBM Match 360 with Watson on Cloud Pak for Data 4.0

Any trusted AI pipeline must start with trusted data. The foundation of the best AI pipelines includes trusted data, trusted machine learning models, and trusted algorithms. The IBM Match 360 with Watson™ service on Cloud Pak for Data enables you to consolidate data from sources across your business to help you to establish a 360-degree view of your customers. Sources can come from anywhere, including your existing InfoSphere MDM system or other systems with transactional or clickstream data.

Use IBM MDM Publisher to set up either one-time bulk data loads or ongoing data subscriptions from InfoSphere MDM Standard or Advanced Edition to the IBM Match 360 service.
