“With powerful analytics, organizations can transform data into decisions that improve lives and results.” – Steve Bennett, SAS
Analytics are key
While no one technology is a “silver bullet” to end the pandemic, advanced analytics like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are key tools in helping respond to coronavirus-related business challenges. And while response and recovery are ongoing, forward-looking organizations also seek to reimagine their operations and approaches in a post-COVID world.
“2020 has been a year like no other. Businesses continue to struggle with uncertainty. And everyday people around the world worry about the health of their families, the stability of their jobs and the strains on society,” said Bennett. “With powerful analytics, organizations can transform data into decisions that improve lives and results. They can also reimagine how their businesses operate, with a blend of digital, virtual and agile.”
