They say that history repeats itself, and that those who don’t remember the past are doomed to repeat it. We’re about to see another instance – with regards to consolidation – where these old adages ring true. Years ago, at the start of the cloud revolution, companies began to flee from the idea of a monolithic, […]
With machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications becoming more business-critical, organizations are in the race to advance their AI/ML capabilities. To realize the full potential of AI/ML, having the right underlying machine learning platform is a prerequisite. Today’s machine learning platforms are undergoing rapid, fundamental innovations at an architectural level. Meanwhile, organizations are […]
As a result of the global pandemic, flexibility has become critically important to enterprises – and far more common in business operations than ever before. The vast majority of companies have instituted flexible working policies to retain and attract employees; behind the scenes, they have also increasingly adopted cloud services to enable agility during uncertain […]
The semantic layer concept within the data stack is not new but is an increasingly popular topic of conversation. I predict that in 2022, we’ll see mainstream awareness of the semantic layer, especially as enterprises begin to see real-world examples of its benefits. The fact that industry leaders are discussing the need for a semantic […]
Next in our blog series exploring interesting analytics use cases, we examine how machine learning algorithms dictate the music we listen to every day. In 2019, the music streaming market was valued at $12,831.2 million – a figure that’s expected to nearly double by 2027. Music streaming has become the most popular medium for music consumption, significantly outperforming […]
Good Data Governance is often the difference between an organization’s success and failure. And from a digital transformation standpoint, many view technologies like AI, robotics, and big data as being critical for helping companies and their boards to respond to events quicker than ever. However, the fact is that a digital approach completely changes and […]
Ambient computing is a broad term that describes an environment of smart devices, data, AI decisions, and human activity that enables computer actions alongside everyday life, without the need for direct human commands or intervention. Ambient computing represents an unparalleled opportunity to enhance almost every sphere of society – from the professional to the personal. And in […]
As enterprises continue to struggle with the effects of the global pandemic, the modern data analytics stack is undergoing a shock of its own. The world has changed, and we’re living in a new hybrid multicloud reality. Lower levels of the IT stack, which is to say, data centers, networks, raw storage and compute, are […]
As we kick off the new year, it’s important to consider the unique challenges facing enterprises when it comes to managing databases. We’ve seen data and databases grow exponentially with each passing year. This added growth also brings added complexity, resulting in increased difficulty for database professionals to monitor application performance and mitigate issues as […]
As organizations enter a new year, leaders across industries are increasingly collecting more data to drive innovative growth strategies. Yet to move forward effectively, these organizations need greater context around their data to make accurate and streamlined decisions. A recent Data in Context research study found that more than 95% of organizations suffer from a data decision […]
In the field of machine learning, regression algorithms and classification algorithms are two important topics that lay a good foundation for people who want to advance their careers in the fields of Data Science or Machine Learning. Regression algorithms are methods that predict a continuous output (e.g., the price of a house), and classification algorithms are methods […]
In the era of globalized markets, burgeoning international trade, complex financial systems, ever-evolving compliance and regulatory landscapes, and rapid technology advancement, white-collar crime has unfortunately seen a significant uptick in scale, variety, and sophistication. Whereas white-collar crime used to conjure images of high-flying executives stealing from company coffers, the modern landscape is much more complex, […]
