Sentence 68

Before
While I see large enterprises continuing to invest big budgets and infrastructure in big data capabilities, in-house, small to medium companies will ensure they keep up to the trend by investing in ‘software-as-a-service’ platforms. 

After

While I see large enterprises continuing to invest big budgets and infrastructure for in-house big data capabilities,  small and medium companies will invest in ‘software-as-a-service’ platforms. 

Notes:

Changed 'big data capabilities, in-house' to 'in-house big data capabilities' for better readability and comprehension.

Removed 'will ensure they keep up to the trend' as it does not contribute to the sentence and only makes it unwieldy.

Never place a comma before a verb. ‘Is’ - is a verb.  b. 'often quoted’ is usually written as 'oft-quoted’ c. Don’t use ‘ideally’ unnecessarily. d. 'the times to come.’  to be changed to ‘times to come’. ‘The’ is a definite article. Please read up on the use of definite articles here:  https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/540/01/ e.
