Delivering Transformative Business Outcomes with AI

The time for enterprises to gain market advantage through artificial intelligence is now. By 2021, Gartner projects that 40% of new enterprise applications implemented by service providers will include AI technologies. Already many AI-enabled advances are transforming business processes and customer experiences, but the vast majority of AI-enhanced use cases are still to be discovered, developed, and deployed. In order to discover and capture the value available through deployed AI, new deep learning techniques are the focus of feverish research and development in academia and business. However, even successful AI experiments are often never deployed to business operations, resulting in wasted effort, time, and money and leaving businesses dangerously exposed to competitors that have integrated AI into their ongoing operations. In order for companies to derisk their investments in AI and harness the transformative potential of AI, organizations must develop several critical competencies in data science and engineering. Drawing on their wide-ranging Teradata experience and research, Ranjeeta Singh sheds light on key market segments, customer pain points, and use cases where artificial intelligence and data science will drive business value for those companies that make the right investments in people, process, and technology.
