Extract unprecedented insight from your Db2 for z/OS data
Data relationships and insights are often unaccessed, unidentified and therefore unmonetized. Traditional machine learning approaches do little to draw out this valuable information. To get more value from your existing data, you need a simpler, database-integrated approach for developing and deploying AI insights — with minimal data science dependency.                          Db2 for z/OS, via SQL Data Insights, provides an environment to generate trusted relational foundational models from private, known intra-enterprise data sources. Foundational models can be used for a variety of downstream tasks such as clustering, recommendations, similarity searches and prediction.  Learn more
