10 top data and analytics tech trends for 2019

Augmented analytics, continuous intelligence, data fabric and persistent memory servers are among the top trends that will drive analytics over the next few years, says Gartner.

About these technology trends

In their presentation at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit in Sydney, Australia, this week, Gartner analysts Donald Feinberg and Rita Sallam released their list of the "Top Technology Trends in Data and Analytics That Will Change Your Business."

1. Augmented analytics
