Predictive Analytics & AI

The advancement of AI and predictive analytics has broader ramifications than just academic interest and can be said to now be one of the key drivers of a business or enterprises technological capabilities. AI and predictive analytics has helped drive both technological and process improvements from simple rule-based automation to something close to bordering on sentience.

Drive your company to the next level with the power of business intelligence and advanced analytics.

While many companies even now are still stuck to take advantage of data, analytics is key to predicting insights which can fuel business and process innovation leading to key competitive advantages. As of now many enterprises use descriptive analytics, applying Business Intelligence (BI) techniques to combine past data and get a quick review on what’s going on in the company, typically drawing data from either it’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system or other data sources to a data warehouse or data marts. This type of descriptive analytics is usually retrospective in nature and as such predictive analytics is more valuable in the sense it can be used to predict and model future outcomes of the business which will help to bring about process efficiencies which in turn will contribute to either increasing the top line or reduce costs.
