Analytics Leaders Need to Navigate the Technology Behind Decision Intelligence

Share

Decision intelligence has the potential to improve stakeholders’ ability to make data-driven decisions by furnishing them with a self-service software platform designed to make the decision-making process easier, faster, more rigorous and more effective. To achieve this objective, decision intelligence requires a complete platform for data access and preparation, business analytics and data science. That is the conclusion of Navigating the Technology Behind Decision Intelligence , a new report from 451 Research | S&P Global Market Intelligence. The study is available from Pyramid Analytics, a pioneering Decision Intelligence platform provider, which commissioned the study.

Key Points:

  • Decision intelligence can make successful data-driven decisions a more achievable goal through the involvement of a broader set of stakeholders – if it has the correct technical foundation.
  • 451 Research found that 43% of respondents believed data will be significantly more important – business critical – to organizational decision-making 12 months from now.
  • The report describes requisite technical foundations of a decision intelligence platform.
  • Decision intelligence can reduce the failure rate of data and analytics projects. A 451 Research survey found that only 37% of respondents said that 81% - 100% of their organization’s data and analytics initiatives in the last two years had been successful.

TreviPay announces the launch of its Pay by Invoice solution for Visa-issuing banks, enabling issuers to capture a greater share of the $58 trillion North American B2B payments market. Through this collaboration with Visa, a world leader in digital payments, TreviPay’s order-to-cash automation technology combines with Visa’s commercial payment capabilities to help issuers move fragmented B2B spend into strategic, issuer-financed, invoice-based transactions. A Murphy Research study, found 26% of corporate payments are still made with checks or rely on manual legacy ACH processes. The study also shows 78% of global B2B buyers need customization or control in their payments and invoicing workflows, with 61% preferring to pay on net terms. Pay by Invoice helps banks meet these expectations by providing suppliers with early payment (generally within two days of invoicing) while enabling buyers to settle on negotiated terms such as 30, 60, or 90 days.

Agendia, Inc., a leader in precision oncology for breast cancer, today announced that the updated NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology1 (NCCN Guidelines®) now recognize that MammaPrint® + BluePrint® can help identify a subset of hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2–) early-stage breast cancer (EBC) patients most likely to benefit from anthracycline-based chemotherapy. “I am delighted that oncologists finally have a way to identify HR+/HER2- early breast cancer patients who will benefit from anthracycline therapy," said Joyce A.

Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) today released a new white paper, “Human Cognition: The Next Frontier?”, inviting leaders across business, policy, and academia to join a global conversation on the evolving role of human cognition as artificial intelligence transforms work, society, and the economy. The white paper explores how human capabilities such as - critical thinking, creativity and adaptability - are poised to become the “superskill” of the future, driving progress in an era of human-machine collaboration. As AI automates routine tasks and augments knowledge work, PMI argues that nurturing and protecting cognitive capacity will be essential for organizations seeking to remain resilient and relevant.
