Blog: NASSCOM Official Blog

Just a few years back, it was hard to find anyone having a serious discussion on Digital Intelligence or Machine Learning outside educational institutions. But today, the scenario is entirely changed. Today, AI is the most commonly used buzzword in the IT industry. The storm of AI and intelligent systems are just knocking the doors. Get ready to watch the most amazing innovative solutions in the coming years. It’s time to get more digitized.

Digital Intelligence Defined

Digital Intelligence involves understanding consumer demands and how they are reacting to the mobile app or website you develop, and then using the data to optimize their experience. Digital Intelligence has the capability to redefine the multi-device era by transforming digital data into real-time actionable insights and customer centric solutions.

The evolution toward digital intelligence to drive customer experience means we need to start to demand more from our data to improve its actionability in the following five ways:

Digital inputs – collecting data from all digital marketing touchpoints
Business inputs – using digital marketing data with data related to the business
Data processing – collecting, integrating, and managing data with high speed
Data warehouse – storing digital data for analysis and execution
Analysis – creating dashboards and reports for doing data mining and forecasting
Action – creating analytical data and real-time insights directly available to the applications that drive interactions

Forrester defined “digital intelligence,” as:

The in-depth analysis of data and management provides a holistic view of the digital customer experience that drives the measurement, optimization, and execution of marketing strategies and business tactics.

The “confused” world Of AI adoption in industries

Business entrepreneurs have been exploring the magical technology named Digital Intelligence for the last few years. And with this, they get various opportunities to develop mind blowing solutions for relieving their customer’s lives.

From the last few years, the implementation of AI-powered solutions hasn’t gone beyond Proof of Concepts (PoCs) in the form of Machine learning algorithms.
The PoC projects running presently are using basic statistical methods to add predictions to their analytics solutions and then call it as AI solutions. But, this is called advanced analytics which requires in-depth knowledge and human intervention to understand the outcome and then on the basis of that making a decision.

The continuous changing business processes, newly created data and the other business factors are decreasing the level of precision and its value.
The confusing business leaders misunderstood the right way to implement AI technologies so that they could gain valuable results.

The coming years are very crucial to the industry as there is a myriad of incredible technologies to enter into the IT industry. Giant ventures can’t handle the confusion state any more. The facts should be more clear about what Digital Intelligence technology can and can’t do. Also, the way it can be integrated with other technologies to develop brilliant solutions.

Transform Your Data into Actionable Insights That Give You a Competitive Edge with DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE

What was once just an imagination for most of us, now becoming reality. Digital Intelligence is affecting our everyday lives in a number of ways. The customer-favoured digital solutions that are enhancing the digital experience of customers are Apple’s Siri, voice recognition, Google search predictions, and weather forecast. The most common thing that made these technologies happen is none other than our very known machine-learning algorithms that enable them to react and respond in real-time.

It will take a lot of time as AI technology evolves slowly, but the positive effect it will have on the society in the coming future is immeasurable.

Digital Intelligence is a combination of-

Technology and Talent
Data and Analytics
Human Intelligence and Machine Intelligence

A Gartner study found that by 2020, AI will eliminate 1.8 million jobs—but create 2.3 million.
