“Just like the 4th Industrial Revolution is driving decision-making to devices at the edge—in the 21st century, successful organizations are also democratizing decision-making. The multiple functions that are involved in growth decisions—such as strategy, sales, marketing, product management, M&A, etc.—need a partner like MarketsandMarkets that is investing in building growth use cases for every part of the organization, delivered at the click of a button with an AI-enabled intelligence platform,” said Krishnan Chatterjee.
