Natural language processing (NLP), business intelligence (BI) and analytics have evolved in parallel in recent years. NLP has shown potential to make BI data more accessible. But there is much work ahead to adapt NLP for use in this highly competitive area. Integrated NLP-enabled chatbots have become part of many BI-oriented systems along with search and query features. Long-established and upstart BI players alike are in a highly competitive environment, as data science and MLOps technologies pursue similar goals. But the competition has spurred innovation. Systems such as Domo...

He's back! Domo founder Josh James has returned to the CEO role at a time when the macro-economic climate is making life tougher for enterprise software firms. Josh James is back as CEO of Domo, just short of a year after stepping down from the top spot at the analytics firm he founded back in 2010. He had handed over the role to the firm’s former Chief Strategy Director John Mellor last March. No reason was given for Mellor departing, other than for him to say...

In an increasingly virtual world, it's hard to believe that companies are still missing the mark when it comes to technology that can keep employees productive. But a recent survey shows that many organizations are missing the mark — and that comes with a cost. Turnover rates can reach 71% in places where workers feel they need more and better tech tools to be productive, according to research by cloud software company Domo, and over half of workers said access to tech tools would better prepare their company to weather an economic downturn. Instead, companies without the proper resources are...

Qlik on Wednesday unveiled Connector Factory, a new strategy to develop hundreds of connectors between Qlik Cloud Data Integration and SaaS applications. In addition, the analytics vendor plans to provide a hub within Cloud Data Integration where the connectors can be easily found and deployed by customers. Based in King of Prussia, Pa., Qlik over the past five years has developed a data integration platform through a series of acquisitions. The vendor first expanded into data integration with the purchases of Podium Data in 2018 and Attunity in 2019. That continued in 2020 with the purchase of Blendr.io. Most recently, ...

Have you experimented with ChatGPT yet? If you have, then you know that the conversational AI chatbot is absurdly impressive. ChatGPT can answer any question about the history of the stock market or explain complex topics in simple terms. It can help with algebra homework, write advertisements, draft resumes, give relationship advice, write music, crack jokes – even pass the University of Minnesota Law School’s final exams. But believe it or not, ChatGPT is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to AI’s potential. It’s smart by today’s standards. But it’ll be “dumb” compared to what comes next…...

It’s a no-brainer that humans alone cannot get the optimal value from all the data assets available today. A quick disclaimer, however, is neither can the technology- at least not by itself. It’s about a symbiosis - tech helping people on the one hand; and people guiding the tech toward a set, value-oriented goal. We can cite a good use case with one of the generative AI tools leading the buzz today, Chat GPT. Sequoia’s anatomy of a generative AI application reveals that as systems like chat GPT receive more user data, the model learns and is being fine-tuned. A...

It’s never easy to architect and plan budgets, but it can be especially stressful for CEOs and founders who are leading during times of economic uncertainty. For those who haven’t yet led through a recession, learning from others’ experience can help build up the knowledge—and confidence—to make the tough calls. I’ve previously shared Bruce Felt’s lessons from the Global Financial Crisis in this column. We’ve known each other since 2006 when he joined a GGV portfolio company, SuccessFactors, as the chief financial officer. About a year later, Bruce took the company public—just in time to see SuccessFactors’ stock plunge during...

Several interesting pieces of research were published this week. They included the Adobe Digital Trends report that found that many leading brands are investing in content creation and workflow. Research from Nosto found 69% of consumers go straight to the search bar when they visit an online retailer. However, 80% admit leaving because the on-site search experience didn’t meet their expected experience. Slack published findings from a Future Forum Global Pulse Survey, which found that flexibility is key for organisations. Infosys published its Future of Work 2023 report highlighting reskilling, talent diversity and need for digital automation for businesses. Domo...
