South African enterprises in the financial, healthcare, and retail sectors are now prioritising data and AI projects to help them become more competitive and compliant.
Archana Arakkal, Practice Lead: Intelligent Data Engineering, says while data analytics and AI are top priorities for local enterprises, the use cases for these technologies vary by sector: “In retail, targeted and personalised marketing is very important, particularly as the local retail industry faces growing competition from international retailers.”
In the healthcare sector, a key focus is integrating patient and treatment data from multiple sources to enable better healthcare and predictive insights on lifestyle and risk. “We also build out accelerator packages to ensure that when we are put into a professional services environment, we can provide consulting and practical build with the experience to help customers avoid mistakes.”
“People want to leverage the latest and greatest. One important area where Google stands out is its ability to support the consolidation of a lot of data, and convert it into something useful.”
