Companies are increasingly focused on utilizing their data to transform customer experience and decision making to gain a competitive edge. To date, their efforts toward this transformation have been complicated by the need to deploy a complex set of technologies and tools requiring deep and scarce expertise. On average, data scientists spend 80% of their time organizing and preparing data and only 20% of their time on the analytics. Infoworks' Autonomous Data Engine automates data engineering from ingest to analytics, enabling companies to convert data into value ten to one hundred times faster with one-tenth of the resources otherwise needed, which enables enterprises to shift their investment to the analytics and achieve business agility.
