Business data is becoming increasingly complex and difficult to interpret and analyze. Augmented analytics leverages emerging technologies like machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver insights faster and improve decision making.
What is Augmented Analytics?
Augmented analytics, powered by AI and ML, enables you to interact with data at a contextual level. It delivers advanced analytical capabilities such as recommendations, and predictive insights, to all your employees. Gartner research says that “Augmented analytics is the use of enabling technologies such as machine learning and AI to assist with data preparation, insight generation and insight explanation to augment how people explore and analyze data in analytics and BI platforms.”
Both business users and senior executives can use augmented analytics to get more value from their data, without the need for specialized skills or IT expertise. It can help you find relevant data, ask the right questions, and get personalized and contextual insights.
Benefits of Augmented Analytics
Augmented analytics can make your data analysis faster and more accurate with the help of AI and ML. You can also make analysis easier for business users by removing technical barriers, and ensuring that advanced techniques are available to people without advanced technical skills.
Faster Insights
AI-powered augmented analytics accelerate time to insight by providing the right data to the right people at the right time, and recommending next steps.
