With the overall volume of data centre traffic expected to reach 20.6 zettabytes in 2021, and the number of connected devices and connections projected to reach more than 25 billion by 2022, the challenge for businesses is to process larger amounts of data while ensuring that it is usable and adheres to governance policies. AI and NLP are key to this by speeding up tasks through automation, freeing developers and users to work on high-value, innovative projects. AI applications that solve business problems have accelerated in recent years but given current uncertainties due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the need to utilize intelligent automation systems at scale is now more critical than ever.
Organisations are increasingly leveraging big data to inform business decisions, but have a range of obligations under regulations like The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the more recently enacted, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), making data management even more complex. By leveraging ADAPT’s experience in AI and NLP, Informatica could continue to innovate across its entire product portfolio.
