IBM Data Science and Business Analytics platform: a one-stop solution
Danger Zone: You have seen the potential of data and analytics and you want to be more data driven. You invested in new tools, skills sets and people at a furious pace. You expect your investment to help improve business processes, engage more intimately with customers and grow revenues with new business models. However, your investment is creating some serious issues in tools, people, and process.
Tools
Point solutions are creating complexity in integration, maintenance and support, driving technical challenges and costs related to paying multiple vendors. This lack of centralized governance also opens your business to risk and legal action.
People
The surging demand for data scientists makes hiring and retention a huge challenge.
"59 percent of companies are not using predictive models or advanced analytics...corporate leadership needs to invest in the people, processes and technologies that empower decision support and decision automation." – 2017 Forbes Insights/Dun & Bradstreet study
Process
Not happy with the low ROI on your data science and machine-learning investment? You’re not alone.
Even though 70 percent of business executives rate analytics as “very” or “extremely important”, only 2 percent say it’s delivered any positive business impact.
“ Most enterprises that have invested in data science related technology and services report that their investments have had only limited impact on actual revenue generation, according to a 2015 study by Forbes Insights. ”
