The world's most valuable resource is now data, not oil, The Economist reports. Small wonder that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies have become indispensable business tools today, and a foundational element of modern enterprises, according to Forrester.

But for IT leaders, along with the added opportunities that these new advancements create will also come the added need to rethink how they cost-effectively deploy, integrate, and manage AI and ML solutions across the enterprise.
