How to maximize the transformative power of next-generation data and analytics

The evolution of data and analytics has accelerated dramatically in recent years, leading organizations to arrive at a critical point of inflection. Companies must now reimagine their IT functions, democratize both data and code, and ingest large volumes of third-party data if they are to keep pace with the competition and deliver the truly customer-focused transformation demanded by consumers and employees alike. Leaders from EY and Microsoft discuss how this can be achieved and what success looks like in the new era of data and analytics. EY refers to the global organization, and may refer to one or more of the member firms of Ernst & Young Global Limited, each of which is a separate legal entity. Ernst & Young Global Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, does not provide services to clients. The views of third parties set out in this publication are not necessarily the views of the global EY organization or its member firms. Moreover, they should be seen in the context of the time they were made.
