48 Red Hat OpenShift and IBM Cloud Paks on IBM Power Systems: Volume 1
By standardizing and automating data extraction processes, enterprises can more 
productively and accurately extract knowledge and intelligence from unstructured content 
to create insights that accurately reflect operational reality, which enables more effective 
digital transformation initiatives and better business outcomes. Intelligent data extraction is 
an innovative evolution in standard data capture that extends optical character recognition 
(OCR), AI, and other techniques to identify and extract information from unstructured 
content.

Automating repetitive tasks saves time and money. Robotic process automation bots 
expand the value of an automation platform by completing tasks faster, which allows 
employees to perform higher-value work. Robotic process automation (RPA) is the use of 
software bots to automate highly repetitive, routine tasks that are normally performed by 
knowledge workers.
3.4  IBM Cloud Pak for Data
IBM Cloud Pak for Data is a fully integrated data and AI platform that modernizes data 
engineering for organizations. Built on Red Hat OpenShift, IBM Cloud Pak for data provides 
containerized solution for data processing and analytics capability. 
3.4.1  Features
IBM Cloud Pak for Data is composed of pre-configured microservices. The microservices 
enable you to connect to your data sources so that you can catalog and govern, explore and 
profile, transform, and analyze your data from a single web application.
IBM Cloud Pak for Data is a native cloud solution that enables data to work quickly and 
efficiently. Data is used to generate meaningful insights that can help to avoid problems.
IBM Cloud Pak for Data helps you do both by enabling you to connect to your data, govern it, 
find it, and use it for analysis. IBM Cloud Pak for Data also enables all of your data users to 
collaborate from a single, unified interface so that your IT department does not need to deploy 
and connect multiple applications.
3.4.2  Layers 
This section explains the following layers that are available in IBM Cloud Pak for Data:
/SM590000Data accumulation
IBM Cloud Pak for Data System offers, accelerated time to value, which allows you to 
stand up an entire cloud system for user data and AI architecture in under four hours. IBM 
Cloud Pak for Data System simplifies expansion. You can buy small increments of 
computing or storage capacity as needed, rather than outlaying vast amounts of capital. 
Based on application demand and delivery, budgeting can be completed in quarterly 
expansions on an ad hoc basis.
/SM590000Data organization
Understanding the quality, content, and structure of your data is an important first step 
when making critical business decisions. It uses a reusable rules library and supports 
multi-level evaluations by rule record and pattern. It also facilitates the management of 
exceptions to established rules.
