“Generative AI is a game-changer, empowering employees with self-service analytics and knowledge retrieval,” said Anupam Govil, managing partner at Avasant. “This shift elevates the demand for enhanced data integrity and quality, compelling enterprises to refine their data strategies for more impactful and informed outcomes.”

The report provides several findings, including the following:

    • Over the next 12 months, 62% of enterprises will step up their investments in data management and advanced analytics. This surge is primarily driven by enterprise demand for implementing responsible Gen AI, enhancing customer experience, and exploring data monetization opportunities.
    • Banking, retail and CPG, and healthcare and life sciences have traditionally been the main consumers of data management and advanced analytics services. Enterprises in these sectors are now seeking data and analytics solutions that streamline self-service analytics for hyper-personalization and process optimization, as well as data governance services like data quality and MDM to support Gen AI implementation.
    • Service providers are developing Gen AI-powered data management and analytics solutions that enable the delivery of automated data management and advanced analytics services with minimal to no human intervention.
    • Over the next 18 months, data lakes, warehouses, and visualization tools will witness the most significant adoption as companies establish strong foundations for data management and analytics architecture.

“Enterprises no longer see data management as just a back-office function,” said Chandrika Dutt, associate research director at Avasant. “Business leaders are now deeply involved in building a strong data foundation to drive innovation, enable personalization, and create competitive differentiation.”
