The COVID-19 pandemic forced companies to respond to the crisis and then identify a clear path to recovery. Eventually most, if not all, companies need to transform and reinvent their future. Post-crisis trajectories vary in time and by industry and business, but most companies have entered already or are now entering the recovery and reinvent phases. And as they do so, the ability to make fast, confident decisions is more crucial than ever.
Fortunately, business intelligence (BI) and analytics solutions, are available to help businesspeople make better, fact-based decisions promptly with data-driven insights. Self-service BI and analytics solutions help business analysts turn data into insights, but this isn’t enough. Recent market data suggests that barely a quarter (or a third, at most) of decision-makers have adopted BI and analytics solutions.
Enter augmented analytics. New BI and analytics solutions infused with the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) represent a robust opportunity to address this perennial adoption challenge. Not only do they give business analysts more power, but they also enable last-mile decision-making for all businesspeople. AI- and ML-led augmentation and automation, including intuitive conversational user experiences, further democratize business insights and eventually make pervasive fact-based decision-making a reality.
