What is Watson Analytics
IBM Watson Analytics sets powerful analytics capabilities free so practically anyone can use them. Automated data preparation, predictive analytics, reporting, dashboards, visualization and collaboration capabilities, enable you to take control of your own analysis. You can then take the appropriate action to address a problem or seize an opportunity, all without asking IT or a data expert for help.
Why Watson Analytics
Analysts say only a small fraction of business professionals use analytics tools as part of their decision making today primarily because the tools are - (i) too complex, (ii) hard to access, and(iii) require the skill set of a data scientist. Reason is clear because these analytical tools are not developed keeping business users in mind but technical people to develop customized solutions for end users.
Why Watson Analytics
“The purpose of Watson Analytics is to reinvent that whole analytical experience and to help a businessperson, not a specialist, but to help a businessperson inform their decisions with better information and better insight.
Why Watson Analytics
Watson Analytics also removes a lot of the barriers for business professionals around usability, getting and cleansing data, learning different analytical techniques and the cost. WA uses natural language to make interaction with powerful, predictive analytics easier with the ability to understand key questions, such as: What are the key drivers of my product sales? Which benefits drive employee retention the most? Which deals are most likely to close?
Key Innovation Features
These are the four WA key innovations that enable business users to unlock the value of analytics at the same time reduce the skills required to engage in advanced analytic –
1 Self-service
2 Natural Language Dialogue
3 Single Business Analytics Experience
4 Stories
Self-ServiceAs a business user, you can be completely self-enabled to conceive a need, to get the data, to analyze it, and to communicate the results all by yourself. Watson Analytics features the use of predictive analytics to surface key relevant facts and uncover unforeseen patterns and relationships. This process sparks new questions and better insight, directing users to parts of their business that matter most.
Natural Language DialogueWatson Analytics speaks the language of business and people by enabling someone to simply type in what they would like to see. WA produces results that explain why things happened and what's likely to happen, all in familiar business terms. And as business professionals interact with the results, they can fine-tune questions to get to the heart of the matter.
Single Business Analytics ExperienceUnlike today’s separate analytics tools designed for different kinds of analysis and data tasks, Watson Analytics is a seamless, unified experience that brings together a set of self-service enterprise data and analytics capabilities on the cloud. Business professionals identify their problem, and Watson Analytics can help them source the data, cleanse and refine it, discover insights, predict outcomes, visualize results, create reports or dashboards, and collaborate with others.
StoriesThe stories are like templates to start you off on your analytics process. It could be things like campaign management for a marketing person; win-loss analysis for sales; employer retention for HR. These are pre-created examples that you can use just to learn what you might do, or use as a template for your own analysis if your business problem is similar.

Data , Data set & Data Quality When you load data into IBM® Watson Analytics, it becomes
available for analysis as a data set.
Watson Analytics assesses your data set for interestingness and quality. It then determines what you might want to analyze.
A data set is a collection of data from external sources that is in the form of a table of rows and columns.
1. Adding a new data setYou can add data that is in a .csv or Microsoft Excel file. If a Microsoft Excel file contains several worksheets, the first worksheet is added as a data set.
2. Cleaning your data to improve its qualityIBM Watson Analytics can provide better predictions and explorations if the quality of your data is high. If the quality of your data is low, the accuracy of the analyses in your explorations and predictions is less reliable. You can improve the quality of your data.
3. Optimizing the quality and usage of your dataWhen a data set is loaded, IBM Watson Analytics reads the data and assesses it for data quality. If the data quality score is low, you can improve its quality and usage so that your predictions and explorations are more accurate.
