Your organization generates a plethora of analytics reported through varies solutions and means. Much of that information is great, relevant, helpful, and so much more. However, it can also be misleading, provide false positives, and guide you in the wrong direction. What you need is time to process and look at all angles and how small actions or campaigns relate to your greater objectives.
However, time and getting this vast amount of information together is often too much for a team to handle on their own. Luckily, will the help of AI, your small team, just transformed into a small force.
Below we will look the following use cases for AI and Analytics in the digital workplace:
Modern businesses don't just operate on data—they thrive on it. Analytics stand as the beacon, shedding light on actionable insights, while AI serves as the navigator, making sense of vast, often complex, streams of data.
Through the potent combination of predictive analytics and AI, it is now possible to not just react to challenges but to anticipate them. AI can foresee issues in the lifecycle of digital assets, offering proactive solutions. This ensures that digital governance isn't just reactive, but pre-emptive and smooth.
The phenomenon of digital sprawl—akin to a rapidly growing city with no town planning—can leave businesses "lost at sea." However, AI-driven analytics emerges as a game-changer. By harnessing the power of AI, businesses can effectively map, manage, and mitigate this sprawl.
Going a step further, by analyzing user behavior and preferences, AI tools can even automate the categorization and organization of sprawling digital resources.
We stand at the threshold of an era where mundane, repetitive tasks don't require human intervention—thanks to AI. However, the AI isn't operating in a vacuum. It relies heavily on analytical data to function effectively. Take, for instance, customer service.
While AI chatbots handle queries, it's the underlying customer behavior analytics that empower these bots to provide personalized, context-driven responses, thereby amplifying the user experience.
The employee experience is no different as we have more rich behavior and user data than ever before available to employees, organizations and systems like Microsoft 365 that can further enhance the experience.
The relentless march of technology has made data collection a crucial pillar for businesses. But as we scale the heights of data accumulation, the challenge intensifies: how to collect not just data, but relevant, personalized data efficiently? Enter AI.
With machine learning algorithms and deep learning models, AI can swiftly sift through mountains of data, identifying patterns and extracting nuggets of personalized information tailored to individual users. Not only does this enhance the precision of data-driven strategies, but it also slashes the time required for data collection and processing by half, if not more. In the era where 'time is money,' businesses harnessing AI for personalized data collection are not just staying ahead—they're redefining the curve.
By examining data, businesses can identify and address the bottlenecks hindering AI adoption -which is why analytics is a critical ally. Luckily, Microsoft has multiple solutions crafted to gather and/or report on analytics that have a great UI/UX that feel familiar to new users. However, with the power of AI, new users will hit the ground running even sooner and faster than before.
