“91% of IT leaders believe a business’ ability to quickly acquire, analyze and act on data will help determine future tech leaders.”

We find compelling examples of technology leadership across industries: smart factories acquire sensor data from customer warehouses and use predictive analytics applications to manage output by dynamically operating robots on the factory floor; wearable computing, telemedicine and personalized healthcare applications generate, acquire and analyze medical data for early detection, better planning and faster cures; online retail experiences incorporate data-driven processes targeting custom products to select audiences with tailored promotions; and smart cities use weather data to predict power demand and real-time traffic data to optimize the commuter experience and manage incident response.
