Maybe we are interested in knowing what's likely to happen in each game they play. In this case, knowing the total number of home runs hit over the course of the season isn't going to be quite as helpful – to make an accurate forecast about the next game, we need to have game-level data. Is the game being played at home or away? The answers to these questions are all crucial to generating an accurate prediction of the Giants' next game. This type of forecast is called a'bottom-up' or'rollup'-based forecast because predictions are made for each game based on the Giants' probability of winning each matchup.

It helps users in finding insights by analyzing millions of rows of data within minutes to discover patterns that a human would never be able to find. It projects AI-driven predictions and recommendations based on the observation that has been derived from the data patterns. It empowers everyone that is from CEOs to customer service agents and sales managers with AI-powered insights, predictions, and recommendations. It allows administrators and engineers to construct a prediction and custom artificial intelligence with only a few clicks or basic code. Einstein Discovery helps developers and Salesforce admins to look into any third-party non-Salesforce application such as human resources (HR) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) that further helps in bringing predictions to the point of decision making.

Turning data into business insight is the ultimate goal. It's not about gathering as much data as possible, it's about applying tools and making discoveries that help a business succeed. The data discovery software market includes a range of software and cloud-based services that can help organizations gain value from their constantly growing information resources. These products fall within the broad BI category, and at their most basic, they search for patterns within data and data sets. Many of these tools use visual presentation mechanisms, such as maps and models, to highlight patterns or specific items of relevance.

While business intelligence (BI) is useful for looking at past trends, where it gets really interesting is when it becomes possible to accurately extrapolate the future. That's one of the big selling points for adding artificial intelligence (AI) to BI -- the ability to apply the brute power of machine learning to predictive analytics. With the help of Salesforce Einstein, cloud ERP vendor FinancialForce is now doing exactly that to help it manage churn, improve collections and pick out its best sales prospects. The SaaS vendor is currently refining these applications of the technology for its own internal use, but plans to productize the results to offer to customers during 2018. We've been pretty impressed with the technology.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FinancialForce, the number one customer-centric ERP cloud vendor built on the Salesforce Platform, today announced it has experienced resounding success as a result of being all in on Salesforce Einstein. Since this revolutionary, integrated set of AI technologies was debuted by Salesforce at Dreamforce 2016, FinancialForce has successfully mastered its capabilities to not only run its company on the bleeding edge of Einstein, but also bring world-class analytics and predictive capabilities to its customers. The company is currently running its internal operations on an app it created, entitled Pulse. A product of Einstein Discovery technology, Pulse quickly and easily tracks massive amounts of FinancialForce data -- everything from customer support cases, usage metrics, opportunities, survey data, financial data, communities, sales invoices, transactional data and more. Leveraging Einstein Discovery across the collected data, FinancialForce is able to unearth critical insights that help deliver specific and specialized service to customers.

Salesforce has revealed the launch of its most advanced CRM analytics platform yet. Called Einstein Analytics, this platform leverages artificial intelligence to the analytics workflow, allowing users to automatically create CRM insights. The AI will also be able to recommend actions which improve customer service and boost sales, as well as helping optimise marketing campaigns. Salesforce says that the platform will come with role-specific KPIs, providing users with an "intuitive, self-service way" to gain access to newest data from any device. One of the tool's main features is called Einstein Discovery – which conducts thousands of statistical checks to check the validity of trends and offer'intelligent explanations' to the patterns it identifies.
