For all businesses, data is the most valuable asset. No wonder there is a sense of growing urgency across all industries to create data-driven strategies for business progress and constant innovation. While that’s exciting, for many executives the prospect of making the most of business data is daunting as it entails several challenges.

You need data-driven transformation to forge ahead with confidence. Along this journey, you will come across challenges and encounter common pitfalls that needs to be avoided. In this blog, we uncover the drivers of data-driven innovation and transformation across various organizations - all powered by modernizing data processes on AWS.

How data is the fuel for innovation, growth and competitive advantage?

We start with the benefits of data process modernization.

Data-drive reinvention

Business leaders rely on data. They use it to make informed decisions and find ways that are proven and effective. With the advent of machine learning, leveraging data has never been easier.

Purpose-built databases

Unparalleled performance at much lesser cost of enterprise-grade commercial databases, AWS offers relational purpose-built databases. Each of these is uniquely designed to provide optimal performance for business-specific use cases. This means you never have to compromise.

Analytics for every use case

AWS offers the widest selection of analytics services. These are tailored to match different industries, customized to fit all your data analytics needs. AWS offers purpose-built services such as:

  • Data storage
  • Data lakes
  • Big data analytics
  • Log analytics
  • Streaming analytics

The best part is all these services come at the best price, performance and scalability.

Machine learning and AI services

No matter where you are in your machine learning journey, AWS allows your business to build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale. In addition, AWS-pretrained AI services can help you add intelligence to your applications to address common use cases such as:

  • Personalized recommendations
  • Modernizing your contact center
  • Reducing fraud
  • Increasing customer engagement

Business Intelligence

Imagine being able to use natural language to ask questions so you can explore data through interactive dashboards, or look for patterns and outliers all powered by machine learning. All this is available to business users on AWS.

Data governance

To control access to the right data at the right time for the right user, organizations need effective data governance and access control. Consider the effort of building a data lake, it can take days. However, with AWS you can design your data lake in a matter of minutes. This capability includes the feature to create data catalogs automatically. Even more so, it provides an easy way to centrally define and manage security, governance, and auditing policies through a single pane.

Serverless databases and analytics

If you want to increase your agility and innovation, AWS enables you to shift more of your operational responsibilities. Serverless solutions allow you to build and run applications and services without servers, eliminating infrastructure management tasks. The best part is, with Serverless, you only pay as you go without having to worry about compute capacity.
