Gartner Announces Gartner Finance Symposium/Xpo 2026 in Sydney

Key Terms

predictive analytics technical

Predictive analytics uses historical data and patterns to estimate future outcomes, like sales, customer behavior, or operational problems. For investors it matters because it turns past signals into probable forecasts—similar to a weather forecast or traffic app—helping assess potential risks, spot opportunities, and prioritize where to allocate capital, while remembering that predictions carry uncertainty and are not guarantees.

data science technical

Data science uses tools from statistics and programming to collect, clean and analyze large amounts of information so people can spot patterns, test ideas and make predictions. For investors, it’s like turning a stack of receipts into a clear map: it helps identify sales trends, customer behavior and risks more quickly and reliably, so companies that apply data science can make decisions that affect revenue, costs and future value.

artificial intelligence technical

Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers and machines to perform tasks that typically require human thinking, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, or making decisions. For investors, it matters because AI can enhance efficiency, uncover new insights, and enable smarter strategies, potentially impacting the value and performance of companies that develop or utilize this technology.
