On the heels of an epic Dreamforce<\/a>, the Einstein Analytics team is headed this week to GartnerIT Symposium<\/a>. We sat down to talk with Einstein Analytics GM Ketan Karkhanis on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and business intelligence (BI), what an intelligent analytics experience looks like and how Einstein Analytics Plus sets the new standard for a modern analytics platform.<\/p>

It\u2019s a few weeks after Dreamforce. What was most impactful for you from the four days of keynotes, sessions, demos, parties and concerts?<\/b><\/p>

For me personally Dreamforce is about getting inspired by our customers. There\u2019s so much innovation and energy from all of our Trailblazers\u2014absolutely nothing like it in the world. This year has been huge for Analytics. Companies realize that it\u2019s imperative to be data-driven across their organization and that data should inform every business process, otherwise they\u2019ll miss out on key trends impacting their business.<\/p>

What exactly is Einstein Analytics Plus?<\/b><\/p>

It\u2019s a complete AI-powered analytics platform that helps companies and business users automatically discover and visualize trends in their data, get predictions on those trends and prescriptive recommendations on what to do next\u2014and it\u2019s completely transparent.<\/p>

Can you elaborate more on what\u2019s unique about Einstein Analytics Plus?<\/b><\/p>

The easiest way to think about it is that now we\u2019re bringing together Analytics + AI and its infused in the business application. Analytics lets you see what is happening in your business and why and now with AI, we can get a glimpse of what may happen in the future and what to do about it. It is baked into every business process\u2014making people smarter and more productive. That\u2019s a very powerful proposition that can change how businesses operate.<\/p>
