Some things don't change, even during a pandemic. Consistent with previous years, in CIO's 2021 State of the CIO survey, a plurality of the 1,062 IT leaders surveyed chose "data/business analytics" as the No.1 tech initiative expected to drive IT investment.
Unfortunately, analytics initiatives seldom do nearly as well when it comes to stakeholder satisfaction.
Last year, CIO contributor Mary K. Pratt offered an excellent analysis of why data analytics initiatives still fail , including poor-quality or siloed data, vague rather than targeted business objectives, and clunky one-size-fits-all feature sets. But a number of fresh approaches and technologies are making these pratfalls less likely.
Analytics in the cloud: Key challenges and how to overcome them | CIO

One of the top 10 data and analytics technology trends for 2021 cited by Gartner is the use of open, containerized analytics architectures that make analytics capabilities more composable. This enables enterprises to quickly create flexible, intelligent applications that help data analysts connect insights to actions, the research firm says.

There's no question that data analytics can be a significant competitive differentiator for companies, delivering insights that can help boost sales and market share. But how much enterprises gain through analytics can depend a great deal on how well they're taking advantage of the latest technologies, and how prepared they are for future developments.
Self-service analytics enables business users to perform queries and generate reports on their own, with minimal or no support from IT and without the need for advanced analytics skills. They can leverage easy-to-use business intelligence (BI) tools that have basic analytics capabilities.
Collaboration analytics: Yes, you can track employees. Should you? | Computerworld
The ability to view analytics data in collaboration and productivity software is not new; such products have long provided admins with a snapshot of app utilization. Typically aimed at gauging user uptake and tracking deployment progress, these metrics were otherwise limited in their wider business use.
Recently, however, software vendors have begun to add more sophisticated analytics that shine a light on broader organizational working patterns and trends.
Training Ground Guru | How Analytics FC helped De Bruyne negotiate new Man City deal
KEVIN DE BRUYNE employed the services of data analytics company Analytics FC as part of the negotiations over his new four-year contract with Manchester City.
The 29-year-old midfielder agreed the £83m deal without using an agent, but was advised by Brussels-based legal firm Atfield and his management company Roc Nation, founded by Jay-Z.
Via Atfield, De Bruyne commissioned Analytics FC to produce a report analysing the player's past, present and projected future performances and importance to the team - as well as benchmarking his salary against those of other world-leading attacking midfielders. TGG understands this showed he was significantly underpaid in comparison.
GLOBAL SMART GRID DATA ANALYTICS MARKET FORECAST 2021-2028
Bill Reith felt the blast of February's freak cold snap in Texas almost immediately - from inside his office in northern Indiana. As head of the largest recreational vehicle division of REV Group Inc, a Milwaukee-based producer of specialty vehicles, he watched helplessly as the power grid in Texas buckled under some of the coldest temperatures seen in the state in decades, hobbling shipments of a mundane, but vital, commodity used in every one of his company's RVs: foam.

Executive Q&A: A Closer Look at Open Data Lake Analytics | Transforming Data with Intelligence
An open data lake analytics approach will augment (and over time surpass) adoption of data warehousing given the significant long-term strategic benefits it provides to companies, Ahana's Dipti Borkar argues.
Organizations today have data in multiple systems and most of that data is now up in the cloud, or will be soon. The data is usually a mix of structured and unstructured, static and streaming and in many formats. It's dispersed across data warehouses, open source databases, proprietary databases, and cloud warehouses, but increasingly most of the data will end up in data lakes.

Big Food is watching you: General Mills and rivals go all in on analytics - StarTribune.com
When a handful of teens took to social media to complain about the paltry size of their microwaveable mac and cheese, Big Food was paying attention.
At Kraft Heinz, the corporate behemoth that's responsible for a lot of the items in your pantry right now, a "social listening team" picked up on that chatter in the summer of 2019. Months later — lightning speed in the food world — Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Big Bowls were on store shelves.
