Enabling 360-degree customer views. Delivering the right content to shoppers at the right time. Predicting machine failures proactively. These are just a few examples of the countless use cases enabled by data analytics solutions running on high performance computing systems — and they are becoming more important with each passing day.
That’s evident in the investments organizations are making in analytics solutions to better serve their customers, improve their operations and enhance security. This is a point IDC emphasizes in a recent report noting that worldwide spending on big data and business analytics (BDA) solutions is forecast to top $215 billion this year, an increase of more than 10 percent over 2020.¹
“Firms in the professional services industry, for instance, are utilizing Big Data and analytics to support their 360-degree customer and client management efforts, as well as advanced project management initiatives,” IDC notes. “Banks are using BDA solutions to improve customer onboarding while simultaneously automating business operations and detecting and preventing fraud. Even slower moving industries like construction have started to fuel investments in extended supply chain planning and interconnected and collaborative workspaces.”
