Why I Won’t Stop Talking About Augmented Analytics!
What Are the Benefits of Augmented Analytics? Where Do I Start?
Those who know me are probably tired of hearing me talk about the benefits of Augmented Analytics. To them, I say, ‘I am sorry’. I am about to talk about it yet again. The reason is simple. Most businesses are either considering the addition of augmented analytics to democratize data, improve data literacy and create Citizen Data Scientists OR they are still unconvinced and feel that they are just fine. Either way, your business professionals and managers can use a primer on the benefits of augmented analytics, whether it is used to support their decision or to convince the team that augmented analytics should be pursued!

With market changes, shifts in customer buying behavior and the need to spend wisely, businesses must make data-driven decisions if they are to be competitive and plan logically for growth.
Do You Know What Key Influencer Analytics Can Do For Your Business?

When choosing a BI tool and augmented analytics solution for your business, one of the most crucial concerns is the features and functionality of the prospective solution and how this solution will meet user and organizational needs. It is important to remember that there are also specific features a business should consider, like embedded BI and easy-to-employ Integration APIs, that will assure user adoption and appropriate ROI and TCO.

With appropriate planning and execution, businesses can create a solid foundation, and provide benefits for all users, managers and IT staff.
