When It Comes To Data Analytics, Stay Hungry

When it comes to data discovery and analytics, it’s a journey, not a destination. Today’s tools for data discovery – the first step in the analytics process – have made it easy for business users to turn data into visually appealing dashboards that can be quickly delivered to management-level employees. This empowers users to provide insights in a way they couldn’t before, giving them a natural feeling of satisfaction. In fact, these cool visualizations are so well-received in meetings, it can make them feel like a rockstar. More than ever before, organizations in every industry are becoming analytical competitors by introducing analytics that fully leverage their data assets. More importantly, the range of potential applications is endless and the techniques to apply them are readily available. In this talk, Rick will demonstrate how analytics deliver quick value to identify the next best offer for a customer, forecast past performance into the future, quantify risks, automate detection of anomalies and fraud, and expose insights into the real drivers of performance that are usually hidden in the data. In this “Age of Analytics” that we live in today, virtually every organization aspires to do a better job with analytics – Rick calls it Aspir-lytics – but it’s turning those aspirations into action that sets competitors apart.
