Analytics Leaders Need to Navigate the Technology Behind Decision Intelligence
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.
- Navigating the Technology Behind Decision Intelligence is available for free ungated download. You will not be asked for contact information.
