Here are the top habits of successful data and AI-driven organizations

We’re currently in a “data renaissance” where enterprises realize that to execute on novel data and AI use cases, the legacy model of siloed technology stacks needs to give way to a unified approach. In other words, it’s not about just data analytics or just ML – it’s about building a full enterprise-wide data, analytics, and AI platform. They also recognize that they need to empower their data teams with more turnkey solutions in order to focus on creating business value and not building tech stacks.

Every organization is under increasing pressure to fly the plane while it’s being upgraded, but as we get to the point where there are multiple options on how to fly and upgrade, that open nature allows optionality for the future. The optionality enabled by an embrace of open standards and formats is becoming a critical component organizations are increasingly prioritizing in their strategies.
