Decision Intelligence Digest: May 2022

Lately, it seems everyone is talking about decision intelligence. And for good reason: like business intelligence before it, decision intelligence will redefine what data—and the insights it produces—can do for the modern enterprise. It’s an exciting time to work in analytics!

We’re so excited that we’re launching a monthly digest on the topic. We’ll deliver the most interesting, relevant, and useful information we’ve seen or produced directly to your inbox. We’re glad you’re with us for the ride! Now: read on for the May 2022 edition!

There is Something in the Air…

A hint, a murmur, the passing comment at a conference presentation. Things are changing in the world of business analytics. And of course, they are—seismic advances in technology and data accessibility are redefining what “data-driven” can actually mean. These advances have made possible a new approach to strategic decision-making called decision intelligence.

Just last week, the 2022 Gartner Critical Capabilities report ranked the Pyramid Decision Intelligence Platform #1 in Augmented Analytics, and a top performer in all Use Cases. Gartner is a big proponent of this emerging framework, listing it as a “Top Trend” for 2022 and projecting that: “By 2023, more than 33% of large organizations will have analysts practicing decision intelligence.” Here’s our take on the report.

That’s not all:

• Our CEO, Omri Kohl, and other industry luminaries discussed a platform approach to decision intelligence with TechTarget
• 451 Research (part of S&P Global Intelligence) recently published two reports: a Business Impact Brief headlined Decision Intelligence—A New Enabler for Data-Driven Decisions, and a profile called Pyramid plants a stake in the DI ground
• Looking ahead to 2025, McKinsey predicts that within a few short years: “Nearly all employees [will] naturally and regularly leverage data to support their work” (which sounds a lot like decision intelligence to us)
• We are also doing our best to help people understand what’s around the corner: Mythbusting Business Intelligence vs. Decision Intelligence unpacks 12 common myths about analytics, and Say Hello to Decision Intelligence is a great guide for anyone who wants to better understand how this near-future may look in practice
• The Channel Company (CRN) listed the Pyramid Decision Intelligence Platform as #14 on its list of the Coolest Business Analytics Companies of the 2022 Big Data 100
• By now you’ve heard about our $120M Series E funding round. We consider that a HUGE vote of confidence in the Pyramid Decision Intelligence Platform and the revolution it has started. A lot of people have been talking about what this investment means: check out these articles from TechCrunch, TechTarget, and many more linked from our News page!

And finally: once you’re done with the assigned reading above (yes there will be a quiz 🙂) scroll on for more stories, updates, and resources from the wide world of data and analytics. See you next month!
