I have been having quite a bit of fun in this blog series exploring the “sliding doors” (or divergent paths) that organizations can take with their AI and data initiatives. The right door can lead to great value, as I covered in my previous posts on ESG reporting, data products, and responsible AI.

insightsoftware’s Logi Symphony, a leading embedded analytics solution, continues to impress. According to a recent Dresner Advisory Services’ Wisdom of Crowds® Business Intelligence Market Study, Logi Symphony has been recognized as a leader in the field. This recognition highlights Logi Symphony’s commitment to exceptional customer experience and its strong reputation within the BI and analytics industry.

For enterprises, commercial use of AI is still in its early stages, and it’s a case of risk and reward, weighing up both and investigating the best way forward. Of course, there’s much to gain from the use of AI. Already, companies are providing better customer service, parsing complex information through natural language inputs, and generally making workflows faster.

Using BigQuery object tables, we analyze unstructured Cloud Storage data with generative AI models and join the results with BigQuery structured data.

It is a fairly recent trend for companies to amass GPU firepower to build their own AI computing infrastructure and support the growing number of compute requests. Many recent AI tools now enable data scientists to work on data, run experiments, and train models seamlessly with the ability to submit their jobs and monitor their progress. However, for many organizations with mature supercomputing capabilities, Slurm has been the scheduling tool of choice for managing computing clusters.

Our early roadmap in 2024 has been largely focused on improving orchestration and compute infrastructure management capabilities. Last month we released a Resource Allocation Policy Management Control Center with a new, streamlined UI to help teams visualize their compute infrastructure and understand which users have access to what resources.

Generative AI (GenAI) has taken the world by storm, promising to revolutionize industries and transform the way businesses operate. From generating creative content to automating complex tasks, the potential applications of GenAI are vast and exciting. However, implementing GenAI in an enterprise setting comes with its own set of challenges. At Cloudera, we understand the complexities of enterprise GenAI adoption.
