IB recently released the latest design of the platform, IBM IIS Version 11.7. Some of the new features in this release include:
1. Enterprise search – Geared toward business users, this new feature offers an enriched search experience powered by a detailed knowledge graph. This graph helps users gain new awareness and understanding of enterprise data, and how such data is connected and used, through its clear and simple contextual presentation.
2. DataStage Flow Designer – This thin-client interface boosts productivity by simplifying job development and speeding job creation. DataStage Flow Designer also eliminates the need for expensive Citrix infrastructure. The feature is easy to learn through the quick tours on each dashboard.
3. Automation powered by machine learning – IBM IIS Version 11.7 deploys machine learning that continuously improves as it is used, which greatly accelerates the speed of metadata classification.
