2023 was a big year for developers, with technology taking huge leaps forward in new and exciting areas like AI. With this new unlocked potential, advanced analytics jumped back to the top of the capability wish list for many technology buyers. With customers now expecting more than ever from analytics, many development teams invested in embedded analytics solutions to reduce the workload and time to value for their applications. Here are some of the top trends from last year in embedded analytics.

Advanced analytics help manufacturers extract insights from their data and improve operations and decision-making. But for manufacturers, it’s often challenging to perform analytics with ERP data. Because of the high rate of M&A activity in the industry, manufacturing enterprises often struggle with multiple ERP instances. A fragmented resource planning system causes data silos, making enterprise-wide visibility virtually impossible.

In the previous blog, the Yellowfin Japan team used Yellowfin's Data Transformation Flow feature to create a database of the CSV file of order history data. In this article, the team will demonstrate how to leverage the database for analysis by processing and formatting said data using native Yellowfin features, including View and Report Builder.

Generative AI was undoubtedly the most important data moment of 2023, and created a level of excitement for our industry that will certainly continue to be felt in 2024. As we welcome the new year, I am thrilled to share that Qlik is hitting the ground running on that front: today we are announcing the acquisition of groundbreaking technology from Kyndi, an innovator in natural language processing, search, and generative AI.

Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud (CDF-PC) is a complete self-service streaming data capture and movement platform based on Apache NiFi. It allows developers to interactively design data flows in a drag and drop designer, which can be deployed as continuously running, auto-scaling flow deployments or event-driven serverless functions. CDF-PC comes with a monitoring dashboard out of the box for data flow health and performance monitoring.

The sheer breadth of data that telecommunications providers collect day-to-day is a huge advantage for the industry. Yet, many providers have been slower to adapt to a data-driven, hyperconnected world even as their services — including streaming, mobile payments and applications such as video conferencing — have driven innovation in nearly every other industry. The speed with which generative AI will change how we work, live, communicate and entertain ourselves is nearly unfathomable.

In the final month of 2023, Snowflake released features around Snowflake Cortex functions, Snowpark ML, cost management and more. Read on to learn more about everything we announced in December.
