Advances in data management and analytics use cases are helping enterprises across industries focus on business outcome-oriented Data & Analytics (D&A) initiatives. Process improvement, asset management, cost efficiencies, and better customer experience are some of the major enterprise objectives driving the adoption of analytics and AI use cases. Enterprises have also started focusing on monetizing data and providing data-driven products and solutions to customers to differentiate themselves in heavily saturated markets.
