Abstract

Advanced analytics has emerged as a strategic cornerstone in the transformation of enterprises seeking competitive advantage in a digitally disruptive environment. This paper investigates how advanced analytics frameworks enhance security and resilience, while explicitly supporting Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) optimization, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration, and AI governance. By synthesizing interdisciplinary research from data science, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, and software engineering, the study proposes a conceptual framework integrating advanced analytics into critical enterprise functions.

Advanced analytics enables real‑time threat detection, anomaly detection, and predictive insights, which strengthen enterprise security postures and operational resilience. In the context of DevOps practices, analytics contributes to optimizing CI/CD pipelines through automated performance monitoring, error prediction, and intelligent feedback loops. Furthermore, ERP integration with analytics augments enterprise visibility, supports cross‑functional decision making, and catalyzes business process harmonization. Meanwhile, AI governance facilitated by advanced analytics ensures ethical, transparent, and accountable adoption of machine learning and AI systems across enterprise landscapes.

We validate the framework through mixed methods including case studies, expert interviews, and quantitative analysis of deployment outcomes. Findings indicate significant improvements in deployment frequency, risk mitigation, and governance compliance. This research contributes novel insights into how enterprises can holistically leverage advanced analytics to secure operations, streamline integrations, and govern AI responsibly.
