In the face of economic uncertainty, are AI models too costly? Increased ML deployment means higher cloud costs. But price alone or as a primary metric should not be a key determinant of the machine-learning lifecycle. Put a strategy and audit program in place to continuously optimize AI outcomes across outcomes and cost.

Clarity, challenges, and opportunities are all part of our 2023 predictions for data mesh.

Avoiding the technical aspects of data perpetuates the ivory tower of data strategy and committees without generating business results. Learn how a data mesh can help.

Are your data and AI foundations ready to make the most of the connected intelligence future? Find out in this sneak peek of our upcoming Data Strategy & Insights event.

AI can deliver value, but getting it right is a challenge. We’ve seen AI deployed successfully, like the program that discovered 20,000 undeclared pools, and less successfully, like the computer-generated rapper that was dropped by its record label over racist stereotypes. To apply AI successfully, you not only need to get the data and modeling […]

Forrester's research shows that advanced insights-driven businesses were 8.5 times more likely to report at least 20% revenue growth in 2021.

Artificial intelligence communities are taking hold. These communities are more than networking or hacker zones.

Five factors to help you quickly scale insights-driven solutions and simplify the integration of data with applications.

Une gouvernance des données efficace résulte de la maturité de la gestion des données. Découvrez comment procéder.

Insanity is sometimes defined as repeating the same action over and over and expecting a different result. The future of data breaks this cycle to be your vaccine for chaos.

Architects can, and do, choose a primary cloud service provider and/or Hadoop system to house their data. Moving, transforming, cataloging, and governing data is a different story, so architects come to me after throwing up their arms searching for solutions to tame the information fabric, thinking they must be missing something: “Isn’t there a single […]

Every company has a specific DNA. You may think DNA is the brand or values. But corporate DNA is what makes a company tick, not what the company is. Talent, operations, technology, and data make up your base pairs. How those combine will have a specific outcome for the business, and even the overall sequence […]

At the dawn of big data, data scientists were the unicorn of the hour. Talk to any one of these rarities, and they would say there were only about 100 of them in the world. When executives woke up to the potential of big data, it was also at the same time we were dealing […]

If you were to ask me a year ago what I would point to as a best practice for data governance, my response would be to look at what financial services firms do to meet their regulatory requirements. Fast-forward to the age of GDPR and the new privacy mandates coming out of California (CCPA), and […]

Last year, Forrester predicted that firms would struggle with new technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. This prediction came true: Firms continued with AI experiments that lacked meaningful results. Adoption has now slowed (51% adoption in 2017; 53% adoption in 2018).
