Despite having access to a wealth of data, enterprises still struggle to effectively deliver trusted insights to the entire workforce—preventing them from realizing the full value of their data investments. Overcoming this challenge takes pervasive adoption of trusted analytics.

This session will cover:

• Mastering the next wave of Enterprise Intelligence with zero-click analytics
• Empowering your workforce to get more from tools they use, every day
• Using mobile productivity apps to impact every business role and function

AI is not the only thing driving rapid change in data and analytics. Understanding the business impact of key technology trends will allow organizations to prioritize them to drive digital business.

In this interactive session, we will discuss:

• Why data and analytics can no longer be considered as separate
• How augmented approaches enable new users to extend analytic maturity
• Why increasingly complex questions on both structured and unstructured data require new approaches to processing and storing data

There are many ambitions around artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, yet practical use cases involving these technologies are less common.

In this session, you'll hear:

• Where to start when introducing AI and ML to the business
• Opportunities to leverage AI and ML
• Real-world uses and resulting value

Enterprises aspire to maximize their return on investment from data, and to quickly take advantage of the latest innovations in analytics, mobility, cloud, and AI/machine learning. Yet too many organizations struggle with disparate data systems, inconsistent data, closed architectures, and tools that only empower a fraction of the workforce.

In this peer-driven discussion, discover:

• What industry leaders are doing to overcome these challenges and transform their businesses
• How to apply the right tools and structure to balance counteractive forces, such as agility vs. governance
• How to empower individuals and teams with access to those tools, while establishing a single version of truth
