In these uncertain times of the COVID-19 crisis, one thing is certain – data is key to decision making, now more than ever. And, the need for speed in getting access to data as it changes has only accelerated. It’s no wonder, then, that organisations are looking to technologies that help solve the problem of streaming data continuously, so they can run their businesses in real-time.
Research on COVID-19 is being produced at an accelerating rate, and machine intelligence could be crucial in helping the medical community find key information and insights. When I came across the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19), it contained about 57,000 scholarly articles. Just one month later, it has over 158,000 articles. If the clues to fighting COVID-19 lie in this vast repository of knowledge, how can Qlik help?
As first-party customer data continues to explode, companies have struggled to make it actionable for personalization, advanced analytics, and other business purposes. As a result, customer data platforms that consolidate and activate known customer information have emerged to help companies generate ROI from their data. At present, nearly 80% of marketing organizations already have a customer data platform or are developing one.
At Google Cloud, we work with organizations performing large-scale research projects. There are a few solutions we recommend to do this type of work, so that researchers can focus on what they do best—power novel treatments, personalized medicine, and advancements in pharmaceuticals.
We hear from our users in the scientific community that having the right technology foundation is essential. The ability to very quickly create entire clusters of genomics processing, where billing can be stopped once you have the results you need, is a powerful tool. It empowers the scientific community to spend more time doing their research and less time fighting for on-prem cluster time and configuring software.
In this release, we’ve focussed on providing exceptional capability for our customers - both enterprise and software companies - to create and deploy embedded analytics experiences that drive user adoption with minimum amount of effort and coding.
