Data storage

Gains are especially being made near UC Berkeley, one of the major research universities in the Bay Area.

Effective leaders establish and communicate a short list of priorities linked to business objectives so that everyone can align and contribute.

Managing this crucial component of data management will help carriers get better results from their analytics, AI and blockchain initiatives.

Insurer's chief data officer says the goal was to increase scalability and automation of mission-critical information.

CIO Scott Noerr is constructing a framework for digital innovation at the specialty carrier.

Enterprises remain committed to building on their legacy infrastructures, but the massive influx of data poses new challenges to incorporating it all.

Prices are also being bolstered as everything from cars to data centers add more computing capabilities, broadening the market for the electronic components.

But most firms are focused on just having an artificial intelligence capability rather than one that adds real value, Gartner says.

The sector will see only a 0.3 percent growth rate this year, as more companies lease server power from Amazon, Google or Microsoft.

Pricing has dropped by up to 14% annually as more organizations take their information to a crowded cloud environment.

The inability to easily access, refine and collaborate on information continues to be a large roadblock for many analytics projects, says Zaloni exec.

The worldwide private and public cloud market grew by nine percent in 2016, as organizations increased spending on servers and networking equipment.

Modernizing insurers' IT environments often leads to more reliable data that can facilitate improved processes.
