Predicting the future of analytics-one year at a time.
More and more, organizations are looking to predictive analytics and machine learning to address their complex business challenges. While these technologies and disciplines have remained core components of D&B’s offering for decades, we continue to push the limits of analytics’ applications and capabilities.
Whether it's preventing human trafficking, identifying fraud, or providing lifesaving medical information, we will always pursue meaning within the mountains and oceans of data all around us, and stay at the forefront of trends and developments in the world of analytics. To get a glimpse of the coming year, we asked our former Chief Analytics Officer, Nipa Basu, what she predicted we will see in 2018.
This infographic covers the everchanging landscape of analytics, with a focus on how 2018 will brings greater speeds, automation, and delivery to data analytics tools.
