Strategic advice to leverage new technologies
Technology is at the heart of nearly every enterprise, enabling new business models and strategies, and serving as the catalyst to industry convergence. Leveraging the right technology can improve business outcomes, providing intelligence and insights that help you make more informed and accurate decisions. From finding patterns in data through data science, to curating relevant insights with data analytics, to the predictive abilities and innumerable applications of AI, to solving challenging business problems with ML, NLP, and knowledge graphs, technology has brought decision-making to a more intelligent level. Keep pace with the technology trends, opportunities, applications, and real-world use cases that will move your organization closer to its transformation and business goals.
Insight
In the Distributed Computing Architecture/e-Business Executive Report, " AI and E-Commerce" (Vol. 4, No. 2), author Jesse Feiler discussed the status of artificial intelligence (AI) in today's e-commerce activities, noting that AI interacts with e-commerce in three ways:
Tools that allow users to apply advanced data visualization techniques have been around for years. For the most part, however, these tools have been used in scientific and engineering domains to build models for fluid flow analysis, aerodynamic simulation, interpreting atmospheric data, genetic mapping, and other complex applications involving extremely large data sets with many cause-and-effect variables.
It is way past the point when you would need to describe data warehousing and business intelligence (BI) applications in order to prove the technology works or to prove the value of enterprise data integration -- most organizations are convinced.
In last month's BIA, I said that we are now witnessing the application of advanced technologies for enhancing the search-and-retrieval capabilities of BI applications. In this vein, nQuire Software, Inc. has added an English language search capability to its nQuire Suite search, analysis, and content aggregation tool.

In the January 2001 BIA, I stated that organizations can apply advanced data visualization to enhance their business intelligence (BI) efforts. Advanced data visualization is useful for supporting analysts and other power users with traditional BI applications such as online analytical processing, data mining, and statistical analysis.
OVERVIEW OF SURVIVABILITY
The environment in which software projects are developed and managed has evolved dramatically in recent years. This evolution has been driven by an extraordinary increase in network connectivity and extensive use of contractors for system development, raising issues of interoperability, security, ownership, and intellectual property rights.
Corporations have increased their investment in information security, as critical business systems have moved into increasingly hostile territory. Gradually, as the enterprise has embraced new technologies such as EDI/EFT, remote access, and sales automation, confidential data has found itself in ever-riskier venues. Moving to the Internet is the latest -- and riskiest -- frontier.
