Session Abstract:
IoT is forcing a fundamental rethinking of business and operational strategies. Whether your data are on-premises, in a public or private cloud, at the edge, or anywhere in-between – analytics needs to be there with it. And democratization — making data, analytics and AI available and accessible to everyone in the organization – is crucial to realizing value and ensuring Digital Transformation success. You can see the beginnings of this wave in citizen data scientists and citizen application developers who use visualization, low-code and no-code environments to build models and applications. While the quality and robustness of algorithms is important, the real value is in driving actionable, automatic, democratized, and digital outcomes that can be consumed by anyone, at any time, and in any place. Learn how successful IoT ecosystems – developed with partner organizations of all sizes – are speeding time to value for customers, as well as reducing risk through specialization and future-proofing with open and scalable architectures.
