Applying artificial intelligence tools and complementing it with increasing the technological capabilities of employees is essential to significantly improve the performance of companies.

Advanced Analytics (AA), which can be executed from data from digital platforms, wireless sensors and millions of mobile phones, is transforming competition across multiple sectors by generating opportunities to capture value from improved decision making and comprehensive business transformation.
