Ahead of the annual Gartner Business Intelligence & Analytics Summits in Sydney (23-24 February), London (9-10 March) and Las Vegas (30 March-1 April), we asked Alexander Linden, research director at Gartner, to explain the opportunities that advanced analytics and data science technologies present to business executives.
Q: Why should CIOs consider advanced analytics and data science technologies?

For example, it's mission-critical to determine how to acquire new customers, do more cross-selling and predict demand and failures.
