If you are looking to harness the lucrative power of big data and analytics for profitable business success, here are the current trends impacting the digital landscape and what can be expected in the future.

There is a lot to learn and comprehend out of all that data. However, AI and machine/deep learning seem to be the best bets enterprises should address. 

Big data reinforcing climate change research

Big data plays a significant role in climate change research. Only real-time and accurate data analytics can put the raging debate on climatic changes to rest. All the nations have to join hands and take quick actions to save the planet from constantly growing environmental issues. 

Besides telling what’s going on with our climate, data we receive from earth sciences, meteorological research centers, ocean exploration, research, and even nuclear research facilities shows many other fascinating insights about global warming. 

The devastating changes in the populations and lands are making the industry leaders worry about climate change. A slight drop in temperature could affect agriculture – directly impacting human lives and health. Likewise, the drastic climate changes in our ecosystems can impact the global population and businesses with drained resources. 

Where would businesses go in the face of that? They should invest in human welfare and make this planet a better place for today and future generations. 

Clinical trials and novel medical cures 

Big data and analytics are not only used in the form of business intelligence solutions to help companies; healthcare is also adopting to search and build novel medical cures. In addition, corporations show great interest in human welfare because they need a healthy population for a healthy workforce – reducing health-induced absences, financial loss, and other work-related issues. 

Healthcare expense in the USA alone is an alarming piece of data, accounting for 17.7% of the country’s GDP, with national health expenditures projected to hit USD 6.2 trillion by 2028 (with an average annual growth rate of 5.4% from 2019-28  (CMS, 2019).  

The clinical trials remained relatively untouched by digital innovations, unlike the other areas of the healthcare industry. Thanks to big data that could now help researchers improve the efficiency and success rate of clinical trials. With these trials turning digital, medical scientists can use clinical records from healthcare facilities to speed up finding medical cures and reduce drug development costs.    

Data-as-a-service (DaaS) in retail sector 

DaaS (data-as-a-service) is not something revolutionary but significantly crucial for businesses. Many enterprises and eCommerce businesses are bringing it into action and generating massive, recurring revenue. Aldo, Groupon, and Office Depot Europe are pretty good examples of big data utilization in retail.

Natural language processing will gain traction

NLP (natural language processing) gives these technologies a human face and further adoption to help people engage and interact with intelligent systems in human language. In addition, NLP is becoming more innovative to reduce the nuances of language in use, allowing even the most casual users to interact with intelligent tools and systems.   

With the increased adoption of NLP in business operations, users can easily access the quality information and prompt the system to provide them with much-needed insights to move forward. They can get the content in a human voice. Moreover, NLP benefits businesses with sentiment analysis which allows them to understand the consumer interest in their products/services at a much deeper level. They can use this information for optimized business processes to improve customer experience.

It revolutionizes almost every industry, allowing companies to predict user intent and customer behavior to an incredibly accurate degree. As a result, big data helps companies improve their business efficiencies, enhance productivity, save time and reduce cost.
