Stories.bi Announces Participation in Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2018
Stories, a winner of the GE Digital Industry competition, and a provider of augmented analytics software, announced today that it will be participating in the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2018 within the session, "Innovative Analytics in Action: Emerging Trends You Need to Know."
Prague, Czech Republic, January 9, 2018 (Newswire.com) - “We’re thrilled that Stories was invited to present at an Innovative Analytics in Action session at the Gartner Data and Analytics Summit 2018 in Grapevine, TX, designed to recognize emerging trends in the analytics space,” said Filip Dousek, CEO of Stories. “To us, it’s an opportunity to showcase a technology that makes data analysis up to 50 times faster. We’re redefining how managers interact with data. Drilling and slicing in reports is no longer needed. Instead, everyone receives personalised top insights relating to their area of responsibility. This is why Butler Analytics named Stories the #1 most productive BI platform. We make large enterprises more agile, which we feel is notoriously hard to achieve through other means.”
“Augmented analytics is a particularly strategic, next-generation data and analytics paradigm in which artificial intelligence (AI) is having an impact,” writes Gartner. “It uses machine learning to automate data preparation, insight discovery and insight sharing for a broad range of business users, operational workers and citizen data scientists. Augmented analytics will enable expert data scientists to focus on specialized problems and on embedding enterprise-grade models into applications. Users will spend less time exploring data and more time acting on the most relevant insights. They will do so with less bias than in manual approaches.”1
It's an opportunity to showcase a technology that makes data analysis up to 50 times faster. This is a horizontal disruption that will affect virtually every industry.

“Can you tell from your reports what the top 10 issues in your company are?” asks Dousek, “and why they are happening? Hardly. With Stories, it’s a matter of two clicks. Our customers use Stories to identify key sales trends, to analyze retail categories, to improve delivery accuracy in logistics and automate P&L analysis. This is a horizontal disruption that will affect virtually every industry.”
Gartner named Intelligent Apps and Analytics as one of the top 10 strategic technology trends for 2018.1 “By 2020, augmented analytics — a paradigm that includes natural-language query and narration, augmented data preparation, automated advanced analytics and visual-based data discovery capabilities — will be the dominant driver of new purchases of business intelligence, analytics and data science and machine learning platforms and of embedded analytics,” writes Gartner. “And by 2020, due largely to the automation of data science tasks, citizen data scientists will surpass data scientists in terms of the amount of advanced analysis they produce and the value derived from it.”2
