Analytics and business intelligence platforms — enabled by IT and augmented by AI — empower users to model, analyze and share data. Analytics and business intelligence (ABI) platforms enable organizations to understand their data. For example, what are the dimensions of their data — such as product, customer, time, and geography? People need to be able to ask questions about their data (e.g., which customers are likely to churn? Which salespeople are not reaching their quotas?). They need to be able to create measures from their data, such as on-time delivery, accidents in the workplace and customer or employee satisfaction. Organizations need to blend modeled and nonmodeled data to create new data pipelines that can be explored to find anomalies and other insights. ABI platforms make all of this possible.
Indoor location application platforms allow clients to develop business processes and applications that can leverage asset tracking, people tracking, occupancy monitoring and wayfinding. The market consists of vendors that ingest location information from IoT and other devices, process that information, provide analytics of location information, and provide APIs and software development kits (SDKs) to enable business applications to leverage location data.
