New Features in the IBM InfoSphere Information Server v11.7

Timothy Valihora is a longtime management consultant who has IT experience with data warehousing and software development. An IBM Information Server expert, Timothy Valihora has intimate knowledge of new features included in the latest release of a product designed to enable unified exploration, analysis, and cleansing of data.

The IBM InfoSphere Information Server v11.7 offers new user interfaces such as IBM Information Server Enterprise Search, which allows quick retrieval of enterprise assets and exploration of their linkages through a relationship graph. At the same time, the new Information Server Governance Monitor allows data status and health to be seamlessly checked via the curation dashboard and quality dashboard.

Another new feature is full integration with the IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog, which serves as an Information Governance Catalog extension. The benefit of this is in providing knowledge workers with self-service access to a variety of insight-driven data assets.

Once glossary assets have been set up and information assets profiled, curated, and classified within the Information Governance Catalog, the Watson Knowledge Catalog is employed to display and protect these assets. From this point on, the self-service catalog is designed to enable users to seamlessly source and prepare data assets.
