1. Deep learning offers a competitive advantage
” In 2020, the focus of attention on deep learning will be the link between knowing and doing.

Organizations that do not use semantic graphics systems are at risk of seeing analytics ROI plummet due to increasing complexity and resulting organizational costs . “- Roxane Edjlali, Senior Director, Product Management, MicroStrategy and former Gartner analyst .
4. Human understanding becomes even more important as data volumes increase
” As knowledge professionals become comfortable working with data, they should also become familiar with the ethnography of the data, or with the study of what they refer to, the context in which they were collected, and the understanding that the data by themselves they may not provide you with a complete picture . “- Chandana Gopal, Research Director, IDC.
5. Next-generation integrated analysis speeds up understanding time

The need to combine these data sources will continue to grow . ” – David Menninger, SVP and Research Director, Ventana Research.
7. Data skills become a key requirement for companies

10. The future of experience management is powered by AI
“ As applications are broken down by business processes in microservices, automation and intelligence will play an important role in customization and efficiency on a massive scale.
