Unstructured x IBM

Get Started with Unstructured and IBM

Unstructured and IBM make it simple to turn unstructured content into AI-ready data. See how our joint solution connects to your existing systems, automates data prep, and keeps everything compliant—so your teams can focus on building with AI, not managing data.

Unlock 80% of Your Enterprise Data

Enterprise data is often trapped in documents, PDFs, presentations, images, and other unstructured formats. Unstructured enables you to unlock this information through a robust, scalable solution that replaces brittle, manual workflows—fueling GenAI, search, and analytics across your organization.

Challenge	Unstructured Solution	Business Impact
Disconnected, hard-to-access data locked in documents	Ingests 60+ formats including PDFs, Office files, and images	Increases usable data volume for RAG, agents, and analytics by 70–80%
Manual processing pipelines that slow innovation	Fully automated, scalable document ingestion and transformation	Reduces document processing time and ongoing maintenance efforts
Poor data quality affecting LLM and search performance	Smart chunking, enrichment, and embedding optimized for GenAI	Improves retrieval precision and model response quality
Complex GenAI infrastructure requirements	Complete pipeline from raw files to structured, vector-searchable data in watsonx	Accelerates time-to-value by automating GenAI data preparation

Put Your Unstructured Data to Work

Integrate unstructured content into IBM ecosystems or your broader enterprise architecture to increase the accuracy, relevance, and impact of GenAI. From PDFs to multimedia, Unstructured converts complex content into AI-ready formats—giving you a foundation for high-quality, trustworthy AI.

IBM Product	How It’s Enhanced with Unstructured
watsonx.data	Aggregate unstructured data across your enterprise, process it with Unstructured, and write structured results—including parsed text, extracted tables, and RAG-ready chunks—directly into watsonx.data. Outputs are schema-aligned and metadata-rich, ready to power your preferred engine such as IBM Presto.
watsonx.data Milvus	Generate embedding-ready, intelligently chunked content enriched with metadata. Index your enterprise knowledge to power fast, accurate semantic search and RAG pipelines.
watsonx.ai	Accelerate the development of RAG-enabled applications by continuously fueling your models with high-quality structured data processed from raw enterprise content.
IBM Consulting Teams	Equip IBM consultants with a scalable, production-ready solution for transforming unstructured client data—ready to be plugged into any GenAI architecture or storage backend.

Key Features

Seamless File Access
Natively mount and stream files from enterprise storage platforms, business tools, and collaboration systems—no third-party connectors required. Support for 60+ file formats with OCR, visual-language parsing, and table extraction built in.
Smarter Vector Search
Prepare your data for embedding with semantically enriched, chunked content. Enable fast, precise search across IBM Milvus or other vector search engines.
GenAI-Ready Data Transformation
Automatically generate retrieval-optimized content chunks enriched with summaries, metadata, captions, and structured entities—ideal for use in GenAI and agent workflows.
Enterprise-Grade Architecture
Secure by design. Built for scale with declarative workflows, configurable pipelines, and governance-first principles.
Flexible Integrations
Deploy Unstructured with IBM watsonx or any preferred storage and vector database stack. Output formats are schema-aligned and metadata-rich for easy downstream consumption.
