Predictions on analytics and business intelligence strategy
The power of analysis is transforming organizations and industries, according to Gartner analysts Douglas Laney, Guido De Simoni, Rick Greenwald, Cindi Howson, Ankush Jain, Valerie A. Logan and Alan D. Duncan, authors of the new report "100 Data and Analytics Predictions Through 2022." They write that “Subjective decisions such as employee recruitment or product branding are increasingly data-driven, and objective decisions such as logistics planning or customer risk analysis are being made using more sophisticated analysis on more complex data than was previously available.” Look to see analytics adapt to the needs of employees and customers rather than forcing them to adopt traditional approaches to producing and consuming analysis.
