Developers

can build applications that think.

The world is being rewritten in code, and its new builders—21 million software developers—are transforming entire industries. Already, 8.2 million of them are using cognitive computing, tapping IBM’s cloud, data analytics and Watson capabilities to create whatever they can envision. By 2018, it is expected that more than half of developers will embed cognitive services into their applications.

A Stanford University student’s DoNotPay app identified legal precedents to help overturn parking tickets and save motorists $5 million in fines. Bitly moved 25 billion links to the IBM Cloud to give developers faster, more responsive ways to understand online behavior and consumer interactions with their brands. Staples’ Easy System allows business customers to order supplies via voice, text or email.

Cognitive developers are transforming industries and shifting decision-making power within organizations. Only IBM provides all the services, tools, training and certifications necessary to help developers become next-generation builders. With Watson, IBM Cloud and data, developers are bringing together a set of tools that can infuse intelligence into all digital solutions.
