Power of Active Intelligence: Transcending collaboration beyond the last mile

“Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine.” – Peter Sondergaard,

Organizations looking to breach the veil of uncertainty and weaving resilience into their DNA for future shocks are focusing on gathering more data. This data has enormous potential for helping organizations thrive and for assisting decision makers in taking real-time decisions.

However, this can only happen if this data is used to its full potential in order to generate useful insights. And business intelligence can prove to be more useful in these tumultuous times if it is relayed in a real-time manner.

Active intelligence seems to be the answer. It provides analytics-ready data along with the most updated information in real-time. With an amalgamation of the data at rest and data in motion, it represents the pulse of the data, providing business insights and creating an intelligent data-to-analytics pipeline.

It provides more detailed insights, thanks to AIpowered analytics. Active Intelligence also represents the business moment by adding business logic to analytics-ready data, transforming it into business-ready data and enabling collaboration among all data personas.
