Organizations are already creating all kinds of intelligent machines, from AI-powered software & self-service assistants, to smart IoT sensors & connected, autonomous vehicles. However, none of this is possible without data. Not only will the Machine Economy depend on data to operate, but all these smart applications, machines, and connected devices will continue generating exponentially increasing amounts of data.

The problem is data teams are becoming overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this shift. In fact, data scientists still report spending around 45% of their time just on data preparation tasks, while 63% of employees report they cannot gather insights in their required timeframe. Furthermore, 25% of business experts have had to guess when making an important business decision because they couldn’t get the data they needed.

The newcomers that are taking their place all have one thing in common: they have fast access to reliable data which they use to drive innovation, efficiency, and growth. Data analytics capabilities are now table stakes – the basic cost of doing business – regardless of your industry or company size. Every company is now a data company. Now, we must all start preparing to use data in entirely new ways to power intelligent machines, automate manual tasks, and multiply our capacity to produce value for our customers. So, where do we start?
