The 2023 ISG Provider Lens Analytics Services report for Europe finds the analytics services market in Europe is gaining significant traction. Demand is being driven by European enterprises that recognize the imperative of adopting enterprise-wide analytics. These firms are embracing cutting-edge technologies, weaning off legacy systems, and instilling an overall digital mindset and culture within the enterprise, the ISG report says.
“European enterprises are facing significant challenges that require them to embrace an innovation mindset and culture that significantly pushes them to invest in digital capabilities, analytics and AI,” said Dorotea Baljević, ISG analytics lead in EMEA. “Providers can help them shift their approach at a considerably reduced cycle time.”
Enterprise analytics requires a substantial investment in upgrading existing infrastructure, the ISG report says. This involves careful engineering and integration of data assets, meticulous planning and technical expertise to ensure the upgraded infrastructure supports all the functionalities of analytics tools and provides the necessary foundation for data-driven decision-making.
Employing historical data and trends to forecast future infrastructure needs and associated costs can assist in better budgeting and planning, the report says.
“Chief Digital Officers are looking for solutions to help prioritize data-centric initiatives and align them with enterprise business objectives,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Service providers can equip enterprises with the necessary foundation to build a robust AI strategy utilizing their IP assets such as accelerators, frameworks and platforms powered by digital technologies like AI/ML, deep learning, NLP and computer vision.”
The report also examines how enterprises are actively adopting data fabric and data mesh approaches in a strategic shift toward more decentralized and scalable data architectures.
