Advanced analytics have historically been sold as stand-alone offerings – as a product or as a platform – which artificially capped the benefits they could provide. With additional requirements being placed on IT, and as organizations are finding new and better ways to bridge formerly distinct data silos, expectations are now also evolving. Expect to see artificial intelligence/machine learning being integrated into DevOps, Hybrid IT, and Security, Risk & Governance solutions to help drive added value to the organization and help more effectively manage risk and cost. This evolution will thus help drive top- and bottom-line results to early adopters.
