  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) are topics frequently discussed in various contexts today, primarily regarding their impact on society and application in specific scenarios. When it comes to backup and recovery, two questions are significant: How much AI-generated data needs protection? How will backup and recovery processes adapt to take advantage of these rapidly evolving technologies? TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed IT and data professionals familiar with and/or responsible for data protection and data science for their organization to gain insights into these trends.

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world of backup and recovery, bringing new opportunities and challenges for organizations that want to protect and leverage their data assets for business value. AI can help automate backup and recovery processes, improve data security and resilience, enable data reuse and insights, and optimize costs and performance. However, AI also poses new risks and concerns, including data privacy and compliance, data management and integration, ransomware attacks, and staff skill gaps.

    To understand how organizations are adopting AI and machine learning in their backup and recovery strategies, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 375 IT and data professionals familiar with and/or responsible for data protection and data science decisions for their organization.

  • As organizations continue to recognize the importance of data-driven decision-making, the pace of business is preventing analytics success. The ever-increasing volume of distributed data available to the business overwhelms data-centric stakeholders.

  • The ever-increasing volume of distributed data generated by and available to the business continues to overwhelm data-centric stakeholders. As organizations struggle to gain a comprehensive picture of their data, yet another layer of complexity presents itself: rate of change. With the rate of change in the business often eclipsing the rate at which data can be collected and analyzed, organizations need help ensuring the timely delivery of accurate insight based on the current state of the business. By enabling users to access and analyze data without the need for specialist knowledge or coding expertise, AI is helping democratize analytics for the wider business. Users can quickly and easily explore and visualize data, gain new insight through better collaboration, and share results. Whether through augmented analytics or generative AI, AI is making it easier for users to find and analyze the data they need without the manual processes that typically deter broader BI and analytics adoption.

    To assess the state of analytics and BI platforms in today’s organizations, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 375 data and IT professionals in North America (US and Canada) involved with or responsible for evaluating, purchasing, managing, and building analytics and BI solutions.
