Important Considerations For Your Next Watson Explorer Project

Whether you're thinking about deploying IBM Watson Explorer for the first time or you're ready for your next WEX project there are some things you need to consider. First, you want to decide which components from Watson Explorer you are likely to use. There is a significant difference between the components and the pricing of these components. Decide if you want to take the foundational approach with cognitive search and the 360-degree view of Application Builder or if you need more of a data analytics approach that the Deep Analytics version supplies.


You want to consider which data sources you are going to use and if IBM Watson Explorer has a connector for these data sources. IBM Watson explorer ships with many connectors to popular content management systems, databases, filesystems, and more. Next, you want to consider how many users you are likely to support. This will help you determine if you need an architecture that consists of multiple tiers or something more simple. Then you need to think about whether or not this application needs to be highly available or not. That can impact the architecture layout significantly.

It's best to work with an experienced and qualified consultant to plan and implement your Watson Explorer implementation. You can reach out to IBM for help but you may find the prices to be a little bit discouraging. I've heard stories of IBM Architects charging upwards of $320 per hour. That may not be within your budget. Thankfully you can get very skilled Watson Explorer Consultants for as little as $120 per hour.
