Organizations are looking to digitally transform and analytics is at the center of this trend. Augmented intelligence is making its way into many applications and products. Advanced algorithms for machine learning, text analytics/NLP (natural language processing), and artificial intelligence are hotter than ever.  Operationalizing these models (i.e., the last mile in production) is key, which often requires new roles such as ModelOps/DataOps. New deployment models including containers are becoming the norm.
