Analytics Minimalism

I’ve installed 230 apps on my phone. Five are essential to my daily routine.

Darius Foroux observes that more technology does not equal more productivity. He describes digital minimalism as the path to digital detox. Minimalism increases productivity by removing digital distractions.

Is analytics minimalism possible too? If so, which tools are essential?

My vote for the five essential enterprise analytics tools are:

  1. A scalable, trusted, and secure virtual data hub

  2. Self-service visual analytics for human decision making

  3. Collaborative AI operationalization via Model Ops

  4. Streaming analytics to manage automated operations and IoT digital twins.

  5. Python.

Like apps on your phone, each category has several options.

Like apps on your phone, productivity increases when the apps work as one.

Unlike the apps on your phone, analytic tools are used by diverse teams: business people, data engineers, data scientists, subject matter experts and IT. When they work together seamlessly, we call it hyperconverged analytics

Analytics minimalism increases productivity by removing distractions. What five tools can’t you do without?
