Depending on the relevant industry, we see predictive analysis being used to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the IT realm. It’s the use of AI that is creating the ability to make fast and efficient predictions about marketing and sales trends.
The most practical uses of AI include data mining, historical analysis and the handling of otherwise mundane administrative tasks. As for data mining, the digital world creates mounds of useful data. Unfortunately, this data is only useful if an organization has an efficient way to accumulate the data and formulate it into meaningful statistics.
Once these mounds of data are put together to paint a historical picture of the buying behavior of customers, it becomes infinitely easier for marketing personnel to put together marketing strategies that offer customers the best shopping experience. That usually results in higher capture rates, which ultimately translates to higher revenue.
As for handling administrative tasks, predictive analysis is useful in helping to identify what vendors or customers want to know. Imagine being able to use AI to predict the questions customers might have before they actually ask them. The ability to do that saves time, which generally translates to more revenue with less effort.

In the past, stakeholders had to invest a lot of time and money to participate in group conferences. They had to deal with making travel plans, securing accommodations in a busy conference center location and spending the requisite time needed to garner whatever information was needed from the conference.
Today, robust conferences on a variety of business topics can be organized around a simple group conference call. What’s truly amazing is these group conference calls can include literally hundreds of participants. Even better, some of the software platforms for these group conferences allow for video/audio participation and access for attendees to break out in smaller groups for mini-conferences.
The way predictive analysis plays into the group conferencing process is actually quite interesting. Through the use of AI, data can be collected from prospective attendees regarding what topics should be covered. The information might also point out information about how attendees would like to see the conference flow. By using this information, conference organizers should be able to create the optimum conference experience. Anytime you can make things pleasant and efficient for stakeholders, the more likely they are to participate in the future.
Conclusion
The world of business interaction is changing rapidly. The money stakeholders can save by attending group conferences online is money they can put back into the business. At the end of the day, a dollar saved is a dollar earned. Indeed, predictive analysis group conferencing is quickly changing the way consumers and businesses interact with one another and among themselves.
