Less than a decade ago, many businesses were manually entering data into spreadsheets to meet their insight needs. Today, even the most modest startups can benefit from deep analytics.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the landscape of companies that provide targeted services for a spectrum of industries is somewhat barren.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inarticle-wrapper neural channel-cta hs-embed-tnw\">\n<div id=\"hs-embed-tnw\" class=\"channel-cta-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"channel-cta-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads.tnw\/uploads\/neural-newsletter_header-1.gif\"\/><\/div>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/src=\" https:=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"channel-cta-input\">\n<h2 class=\"channel-cta-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greetings_humanoids\"><\/span>Greetings, humanoids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"channel-cta-tagline\">Subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>letter now for a weekly recap of our favorite AI stories in your inbox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Simply put, you can\u2019t just integrate a bunch of generic AI models into your IT stack and hope to magically pipeline solutions to your company\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n<p>It takes infrastructure and expertise to turn your hoard of data into action points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background:<\/strong> IBM\u2019s spent over a century developing the infrastructure. But expertise is a moving target. To keep up with the modern influx of deep learning and data solutions in a period of technological turbulence, the company\u2019s new CEO has opened up the corporate wallet in hopes of building a data-parsing juggernaut.<\/p>\n<p>Per a recent IBM <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ibm.com\/2022-07-06-IBM-Aims-to-Capture-Growing-Market-Opportunity-for-Data-Observability-with-Databand-ai-Acquisition\">blog post<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Databand.ai is IBM\u2019s fifth acquisition in 2022 as the company continues to bolster its hybrid cloud and AI skills and capabilities. IBM has acquired more than 25 companies since Arvind Krishna became CEO in April 2020.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This particular acquisition shores up IBM\u2019s ability to provide \u201cdata observability\u201d solutions for its clients and customers.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Databand.ai comes with a suite of products and a team of employees who know how to turn giant troves of data into useful insights.<\/p>\n<p>According to IBM:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A rapidly growing market opportunity, data observability is quickly emerging as a key solution for helping data teams and engineers better understand the health of data in their system and automatically identify, troubleshoot and resolve issues, like anomalies, breaking data changes or pipeline failures, in near real-time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Quick take:<\/strong> There\u2019s a lot more to the world of big data than you might think. With this acquisition, IBM not only gets software solutions it can integrate to its current cornucopia of management and analytics tools, but it also gets a team that\u2019s ready to hit the ground running for the company\u2019s clients.<\/p>\n<p>Databand.ai just finished a funding round prior to the acquisition wherein it raised over $14 million \u2014 that\u2019s a pretty good indication the company\u2019s on solid footing.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Neural, we love it. Databand\u2019s joining a company whose CEO has their finger firmly on the pulse of big data and IBM\u2019s expanding its already industry-leading portfolio of AI-powered solutions.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
