Smart Data Discovery – the Next Wave in Business Intelligence
In our always-on, ever in demand world, technology moves at a breakneck speed for both consumers and business. Keeping up with the trends can be mindboggling and 2017 is no different. Last year we touched on the top three emerging trends in the insight and analytics sector. From increased data security scrutiny to healthcare data to smart data for the masses; it’s been nearly a year since we wrote about these emerging big data trends. So, let’s take a deeper dive and see where we are, what’s changed, and what to watch.
One of the most quickly evolving trends is smart data discovery according to Gartner’s 2017 BI and Analytics Magic Quadrant. As the Digital Age progresses, this next wave of business intelligence automates analytics through machine learning and natural language. Businesses will need people who can understand, manage, and guide the process as projections show smart data discovery to be mainstream within three years.
Finding the Balance
Most companies need to balance between a structured setup and a need for data discovery. Finding the balance can help guide them to informed decisions about investing in their analytics capabilities. Consistent data definitions may be best in a more centralized approach, while more complex issues may be solved by a combination of smart data employees utilizing machine learning tools for analysis.
It’s important to recognize not everyone in the organization has the time, talent, or interest involved in data discovery. But, they still need the information gained from analysis beyond a standard report format.
FUN is in the Fundamentals
As exciting as combining machine learning process with new data discoveries is, it’s key not to forget the foundation of prep work. Technology needs those who understand what data is important to a business and how it should be managed.
Data discovery is key to every business and isn’t just related to customer insight and marketing in consumer industries, it’s important in the financial services sector as well.
