From Machine Learning to Blockchain, Gartner identifies Top 10 Data and Analytics Technology Trends for 2019

Augmented analytics, continuous intelligence and explainable AI are the top trends in data and analytics technology that have significant disruptive potential over the next three to five years, says Gartner. Speaking at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit in Sydney today, Rita Sallam, research vice president at Gartner, said data and analytics leaders must examine the potential business impact of these trends and adjust business models and operations accordingly, or risk losing competitive advantage to those who do. “The story of data and analytics keeps evolving, from supporting internal decision making to continuous intelligence, information products and appointing chief data officers,” she said. “It’s critical to gain a deeper understanding of the technology trends fueling that evolving story and prioritize them based on business value,” she added. Gartner recommends that data and analytics leaders talk with senior business leaders about their critical business priorities and explore how the following top trends can enable them.
