Datawatch and IBM have announced an integrated content management and analytics offering for IBM Content Manager OnDemand (CMOD).  

The analytics solution integrates the Datawatch Report Mining Server (RMS) with IBM CMOD so users can speed regulatory compliance initiatives and perform analytics across vast amounts of historical data. Datawatch RMS will be included on IBM's worldwide price list and available for sale by both IBM direct sales and its global channel partners. 

Datawatch Report Mining Server (RMS) is a web-based report analytics solution that integrates with CMOD to enable clients to perform real-time reporting and analysis on documents stored in their CMOD repository. 

Users can repurpose existing CMOD repository content for new applications, reporting and visualizations. RMS turns archived documents stored in CMOD into an analytical asset that can provide significant value to an organisation, including:

transforming an existing content management system into a "search-to-action" Big Data asset

Increasing productivity of report users by providing one click transformation of static reports into actionable formats such as Excel spreadsheets and eliminating cut-and-paste and/or rekeying of data into Excel;

reducing IT burden by eliminating the demand for ad-hoc reporting, sub-reports, or live database connectivity;

providing ad-hoc analysis, investigation and auditing capabilities on core corporate data stored in CMOD; and

providing valuable data to incorporate into Datawatch's next generation visual data discovery solutions.

"In today's economy, businesses are challenged with making strategic decisions with trusted data located in disparate areas of their organizations – including content repositories. Datawatch RMS will allow IBM's CMOD clients to turn their repositories into virtual warehouses that can be mined for data sets and combined with other information throughout the enterprise to obtain a more holistic view of the business and accelerate decision-making," said Ben Plummer, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of Strategic Alliances for Datawatch.
