21. McKnight Consulting Group Offerings Strategy Training Strategy  Trusted Advisor  Action Plans  Roadmaps  Tool Selections  Program Management Training  Classes  Workshops Implementation  Data/Data Warehousing/Business Intelligence/Analytics  Master Data Management  Governance/Quality  Big Data Implementation 3

22. Why Are Trends Important? • It is imperative to see trends that affect your business to know how to respond • Plan for and deal with change • Better to be at the beginning of the trend rather than the end • Wants, needs, and tastes of your customer changes • Make you a leader, not a follower • Grow your business ideas • Give you ideas what to improve in your business

23. Information Management Leaders • Information Management leaders of tomorrow can advance maturity while also solving business issues – There’s no budget for “staying on trends” • Information Management leaders must pick their winning (i.e., multi-year sustainable) approaches and get on board

24. The Money Tree Doesn’t Exist Hitch your Trend Pursuit Efforts to a Budget Delivering ROI 6

25. Those Who Were Less Impacted by 2020 • Cloud-First • Microservices-Based • Data is a separate function • Agile Development • Master Data 7

26. 2020 Reactions 8

27. Last Year’s Trends • Data Takes Steps to the Balance Sheet • Explosion in Sensor-Based Time-Series Data • Business Intelligence Interfaces Upheaval • ETL will be Nearly Automated • Cloud Object Storage • More Edge AI • Data’s New Highest Use Will Be Training AI Algorithms • Explainable AI • Kubernetes and Containers • Hybrid Databases 9

28. Factors to Watch in 2021 • Pandemic Footprint • Vaccine Rollout • Resiliency of Corporations • Prioritization of Forward Factors • Continued Preparedness Awareness 10

29. Top Trends in Enterprise Analytics for 2021 and Beyond

30. Remote Work Continues • Some projects done all remote • Or multiple people to 1 seat arrangements • Remote Conferences • Some Offices Prepare for Return

31. Led by Cloud Capabilities, Strong Tech Spending Rebound in 2021 • CXOs ready to release floodgates • Storage strong growth – AWS Storage Revenue Approaching $10B • Artificial Intelligence, Kubernetes Approaches and Automation are driving corporate tech budgets

32. Leading Organizations are increasing a focus on AI/ML • Budgets for AI/ML increasing significantly • Beyond Initial Use Cases • Model Expansion in Production 14

33. Leading Organizations are increasing a focus on AI/ML • Collaborative AI • Human/AI Hybrid Solutions 15

34. Model Deployment Takes Center Stage • Model Deployment Will Rise to the Top Activity of Data Professionals • Data Scientists Will Continue to Wrangle Data Since Most Data Environments are Mid/Low Maturity • Models Getting More Sophisticated – Data Wrangling Increasing – Continued Challenges to Data Maturity • Organizations will struggle without MLOps 16

35. • Embedded Databases at the edge • AI baked into the chips • Decision making at the edge More Edge AI

36. • High-Performance Edge AI • Real-Time Data Wrangling More Edge AI

37. • Combatting Bias • Responsible AI • Regulations • This trend will evaporate in time Explainable AI

38. Data Lakes • The Rise of the LakeHouse • Explosion in Sensor-Based Time-Series Data and Edge AI • Leveraging Cloud Storage for Data Lakes • Data Integration Automation 20

39. New Technology Stacks: Shift from only data warehouses, lakes, and ETL to data fabrics, AI, and pipelines 21

40. DEVOps • Continuous Delivery • Security in the Pipelines • Visibility into the processes

41. MLOps • MLOps applies DevOps principles to ML delivery • The ML process primarily revolves around creating, training and deploying models • Once trained and validated, models are deployed into an architecture that can deal with large quantities of (often streamed) data, to enable insights to be derived • Development of such models can benefit from an iterative approach, so the domain can be better understood, and the models improved • It also then needs a highly automated pipeline of tools, repositories to store and keep track of models, code, data lineage and a target environment which can be deployed into at speed • The result is an ML-enabled application: MLOps requires data scientists to work alongside developers, and can therefore be seen as an extension of DevOps to encompass the data and models used for ML 23

42. • Automated Data Discovery • Auto-generated pipelines based on global experiences • Joins by data • Key variables updated with each new data point • That, in turn, automatically execute the proper next best action • Next best action determined by AI • Enterprises will automate data cataloguing and profiling Automation

43. • Lack of and expensive data engineers • More vendors rearchitecting to open source • Vendors to compete on customer satisfaction and execution Open Source

44. • Data analytics stack goes Kubernetes for both open source and commercial • Winners go from thought to POC quickly • Serverlessness Kubernetes

45. We are at the start of General AI • GPT-3 has opened a new chapter in machine learning. – Its most striking feature is its generality. – Only a few years ago, neural networks were built with functions tuned to a specific task, such as translation or question answering. Datasets were curated to reflect that task. – GPT-3 has no task-specific functions, and it needs no special dataset. It simply utilizes as much text as possible and plays forward its output. • Somehow, in the calculation of the conditional probability distribution across all those gigabytes of text, a function emerges that can produce answers that are competitive on any number of tasks. • It is a breathtaking triumph of simplicity that probably has many years of achievement ahead of it. 27

46.  There’s more maturity in moving imperfectly than in merely perfectly defining the shortcomings  Build credibility  Don’t be afraid to fail  Don’t talk yourself out of having a new beginning Have an open mind No plateaus are comfortable for long That resistance is not about making progress, it’s the journey

47. Winning Approaches in 2021 • Cloud Computing • Artificial Intelligence • Data Lakes • Data Warehousing • Master Data Management • Agile Development • Kubernetes • Automation • Data Quality • Graph Data • Organizational Change Management • DevOps and MLOps • Data Catalogs • Data Governance
