Organizations Shift to Cloud-Based Analytics and IT Platforms
The growth rates of cloud-based IT solutions in the areas of analytics and artificial intelligence have been substantial in recent years. The increasing volume of data and the need for faster, more accurate insights have driven organizations to adopt cloud-based analytics solutions at a rapid pace. This has resulted in the growth of cloud-based data warehousing, business intelligence, and big data analytics solutions.
Similarly, the growth of artificial intelligence has been driven by the cloud, as it allows organizations to access powerful AI algorithms and training data without having to invest in expensive hardware. The cloud has also made it possible for organizations to scale AI solutions quickly and easily, leading to an increase in the adoption of cloud-based machine learning and deep learning solutions. These trends are expected to continue as organizations look to leverage the power of AI and analytics to gain a competitive edge in the market.
This growth in cloud-based analytics and AI has been driven by the larger business adoption of cloud IT because of its numerous benefits such as increased flexibility, scalability, and cost savings. Cloud technology allows companies to access their data and applications from anywhere, reducing the need for physical infrastructure and freeing up resources for other areas of the business. This shift towards cloud computing has also improved disaster recovery and business continuity, as data can be stored and accessed remotely. Additionally, with the rise of cloud-based solutions, businesses have been able to access advanced technologies and services without having to invest in expensive hardware and software. This has resulted in increased competitiveness, innovation and better overall business performance.
APIs add efficiency and flexibility to cloud environments
The power behind the most widely adopted cloud platforms are APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which play a crucial role as they allow different software systems to communicate with each other and access data from the cloud. This has enabled organizations to build custom solutions and integrate disparate systems seamlessly, making the use of cloud technology much more efficient and flexible.
APIs also allow for automation and streamlining of processes, reducing manual errors and freeing up time for more valuable tasks. APIs make it possible to add new functionality and services to existing systems, allowing for continuous improvement and innovation. In essence, APIs provide a bridge between the cloud and an organization’s systems, enabling organizations to harness the full potential of cloud computing and drive digital transformation.
Analytics moves to the cloud
In terms of business outcomes, cloud-based analytics allow businesses to access and process large amounts of data in real-time, regardless of the size or location of their operations. This enables organizations to make informed decisions quickly and respond to changing market conditions with agility. Secondly, these solutions are much more cost-effective, as businesses only pay for what they use and do not have to invest in expensive hardware or IT infrastructure. The cloud provides businesses with access to a wide range of advanced analytics tools and technologies, enabling them to gain insights from their data in new and innovative ways. These solutions are highly secure and reliable when they are managed by experienced cloud service providers who ensure that data is protected and the solution is always available. Overall, they are considered to be a better choice for businesses because of their scalability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and secure approach to data analysis.
Likewise, cloud-based AI or AI as a Service (AIaaS) provides organizations with access to deep insights without having to invest in expensive experts or the necessary hardware and software to implement such solutions. This makes it easier for organizations to deploy and scale AI solutions as they only pay for what they use and do not have to invest in maintaining their own infrastructure. Furthermore, these solutions are more flexible and can be customized to meet specific business requirements, enabling organizations to generate valuable insights that help them to differentiate from their competitors. Finally, cloud-based AI makes it possible for organizations to collaborate and share AI models, allowing them to leverage the collective expertise of their partners, customers, and employees to create better solutions. In short, it is a high-value choice for businesses as it provides a more accessible, scalable, affordable, and collaborative approach to artificial intelligence.
Moving to the cloud accelerates digital transformation
Leading research and advisory firm Gartner reported that “Cloud migration is not stopping, IaaS will naturally continue to grow as businesses accelerate IT modernization initiatives to minimize risk and optimize costs. Moving operations to the cloud also reduces capital expenditures by extending cash outlays over a subscription term, a key benefit in an environment where cash may be critical to maintain operations.”
Aunalytics provides a highly redundant and scalable cloud infrastructure that enables midsized businesses to reap the benefits of the cloud at a reasonable cost. The Aunalytics Cloud provides a wide range of solutions—including cloud storage, backup and disaster recovery, application hosting, advanced analytics, and AI. Moving from on-premises computing to a cloud environment is a key step in an organization’s digital transformation.

Do you have the tools and talent to set your organization up for analytics success?
Most business leaders would agree: data is a valuable asset. Having up-to-date, accurate data with which to make data-driven decisions currently gives organizations an edge, but eventually, this will become table stakes in most industries, simply to remain competitive. However, an up-front investment in a strong technical foundation and a shift to embrace analytics culture throughout the organization are required to achieve analytics success.
Unfortunately, there are many challenges to overcome when trying to bring siloed and dirty data from multiple sources across your business to a single place to be analyzed, including a lack of time and manpower, and the need for data points that don’t currently exist, to name a few. Using data analytics, it becomes possible to better optimize your business by discovering operational efficiencies, reducing costs, tracking customer trends across your organization, and making strategic decisions based on predictive data models. Is partnering with analytics experts the best choice for mid-sized institutions, or should you hire Full-Time Employees (FTEs) to build and manage your data?
There are multiple ways an analytics platform could be created—we’re going to look at two today.
Build it yourself
The first is choosing to create a custom data platform. While not a bad choice, it could take a FTE years to create your analytics platform—if it’s ever finished. An engineer hired to build a custom platform may leave you high and dry with no one to step in to help. Something like this could cost your business months—or even years—of lost money and productivity, leaving you with nothing to show for your platform building efforts.
Even if your data engineer remains with your business, there are other challenges you may encounter. It can be difficult for a single FTE to stay up to date on the newest technological advances and upgrades. Especially when that person is not only expected to clean and update information on thousands of data records, but also take care of system and software updates, keep up with changing trends in the analytics world, and more. A lack of manpower can also make tasks like finding trends in your data nearly impossible, as data processing may be far behind where your most recent and relevant business analytics can be found.
When it comes to advanced analytics, you would need to find and hire additional employees who are skilled in advanced data analytics, machine learning, and AI techniques, and ideally, familiar with your industry. This can be easier said than done. Data scientists, like many in the technology field, are in high demand, and may be difficult to find and hire in smaller geographical markets.
Work with a partner
A different option is working with a trusted technology partner who brings data analytics expertise straight to you. Partnering with an end-to-end provider often saves your company money while allowing someone else to take care of the nitty gritty that goes into creating reports, graphs, charts, and more. Additionally, you are guaranteed to have access to the team you need to build algorithms and find insights in your data. A partner will consistently provide you with the right tools, talent, and resources, while supporting you the entire way. But how could an Analytics as a Service partner help you find the true value of your data?
A good partner will be able to offer the required resources to achieve analytics success—a foundational data platform, automated data management, access to data experts, and data delivery methods such as relevant and actionable dashboards and reports. Imagine having a regular report, generated overnight, every night, for you to review first thing in the morning—without having to invest in many new FTEs and years of development time.
When looking for a data analytics partner, all the things above are important for creating a successful partnership that leads to analytics success. Aunalytics provides data processing and analytics help and would never expect you to go it alone. When you hire us, you hire data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts, reducing the need for multiple expensive FTEs. By having access to a team of data experts by your side, your business can find itself enabled to make better, faster, and smarter decisions based on consistent, real-time data.
