India Future of Intelligence predictions for 2022 and beyond

IDC predicts that by 2023, 40% of enterprise intelligence initiatives will be business specific, purpose built for business, shortening the data to decisions time frame by 25%, driving higher agility and resiliency. This is among the top 10 predictions for the India FOI Ecosystem, unveiled in the latest report, IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Future of Intelligence 2022 Predictions – India Implications.

IDC defines Enterprise Intelligence as encompassing four critical elements: the ability to synthesize information, the capacity to learn from the information, the ability to apply those insights at scale, and a data-driven culture. The elements are supported by a technology platform that drives the intelligence.

Enterprises in India are looking to invest in enterprise intelligence initiatives and projects for integrating knowledge specialists with business decision-makers to derive benefits such as improved decision-making, higher knowledge, and efficiency with the goal to drive improved financial, strategic, operational, and service level outcomes.

“The pandemic has highlighted the need to be resilient and Indian enterprises are focusing on becoming Intelligent organizations, by leveraging the power of data. Enterprises must focus on shifting from a “process-driven” mindset to a “data-driven” culture,” says Rishu Sharma, Associate Research Director, Cloud and AI, IDC India.
