About Michael Ni
Michael Ni is Vice President and Principal Analyst at Constellation Research, covering the evolving Data-to-Decisions landscape—where CDOs, CIOs, and CPOs must modernize data infrastructure, integrate AI into decision-making, and scale automation to improve business outcomes.
Ni’s research examines how enterprises operationalize AI, automate decision-making, and integrate data management and analytics into core business processes. He focuses on the challenges of scaling AI-driven decision systems, aligning data strategy with business goals, and the growing role of data and decisioning “products” in enterprise ecosystems.
With 25+ years as a product and GTM executive across enterprise software, AI platforms, and analytics-driven technologies, Ni brings a practitioner’s perspective to research—balancing technical depth with execution strategies, product lifecycle management, and alignment to business models. His work helps enterprises and vendors develop AI-driven decisioning capabilities, structure automation frameworks, and align data strategy with business metrics.
