#Celebrity

Customers want and increasingly expect to be treated like celebrities.

•  Learn individual customer characteristics and behaviors

•  Detect customer needs and desires in real-time

•  Adapt applications to serve an individual customer

Celebrity experiences must:

True BI means having four kinds of analytics

Predictive Analytics

Streaming Analytics

Descriptive Analytics

(Advanced Analytics)

Prescriptive Analytics

Reporting

Sweet! Most of your competitors still haven’t

started!

Some say that data is the new oil.

It’s more like the Sun – virtually limitless.

Every industry is graced with more data ›  Richer transactional data from portfolio of hundreds of

business applications

›  Usage and behavior data from web and mobile apps

›  Social media data

›  Log data

›  IoT device sensor and event data

›  Data economy – firms buying and selling data

Using your best estimate, what is the size of all data stored within your company?

Source: Forrester Research, September 2015 Base: 100 US Managers and above currently using Hadoop for processing and analyzing data.

Enterprises have plenty of data from both internal and external sources

10-49 Terabytes

5% 50-99 Terabytes

100-500 Terabytes

Greater than 500

Terabytes 29%

Internal business

data 49%

External source data

What % of the data available is from internal business applications (ERP and business

applications) versus external sources (social, IoT)?

All data is born fast!

But, analytics is usually done much later.

#WhyWait

Perishable insights can have exponentially more value than after-the-fact traditional historical

analytics.

#Perishable

How can you prevent this dude from fleecing you right now?

What are movers and shakers saying about equities that we cover right now?

How can you know if your baby is sleeping soundly or if something is wrong right now?

How can you warn other drivers that the road is slippery to avoid a crash right now?

What offers should you make to your customer if they are within proximity of your store right now?

What music should you play if your customer is jogging right now?

Most firms struggle make insights actionable

#Predictive

Top 3 most read Forrester research reports in Q3 2015.

#1 Does Customer Experience Really Drive Business Success?

#2 Forrester Wave: Big Data Predictive Analytics, Q2 2015

#3 The US Customer Experience Index, Q12015

ANALYTICS

PREDICTIVE Techniques, tools, and technologies that use

data to find models – models that can anticipate outcomes with a significant

probability of accuracy.

Ways to create predictive models ›  Handcraft business rules or program code to

create a predictive model based on human experts.

›  Use big data predictive analytics tools to build models that analyze data with machine learning algorithms to build a predictive model.

›  Sometimes you need both.

Predictive models can be very powerful and profitable, but understand that:

›  Predictive models are about probabilities, not absolutes •  E.g. 78% chance you will like Better Call Saul

›  Accurate predictive models may not exist for every question

•  E.g. Economists have a very poor record

›  Prediction models are not necessarily and probably not causative

Correlation does not imply causation.

Data scientists use a combination of statistical

and machine learning algorithms to find

patterns and predictive models.

Are you a data scientist?

K-means clustering Association rules Boosting trees CHAID Cluster analysis Feature selection Independent components analysis Kohonen Networks (SOFM) Neural networks Social network analysis (SNA)

Random forests Mars regression splines Linear and logistic regression Naïve Bayesian classifiers Optimal binning Partial least squares Response Optimization Root cause analysis Support vector machines Natural language processing

Big data is the fuel and machine learning is the engine ›  Classifiers

•  Predict a specific event, characteristic, or behavior

›  Recommenders •  Make a recommendation

›  Clusters •  Find groups that share common characteristics

#Prescriptive

Adapt and act in real-time.

ANALYTICS

PRESCRIPTIVE Tools, techniques, and technologies that are used to determine the next best decision or

action using a combination of methods including business rules, descriptive/predictive/streaming

analytics, and optimization.

How can you influence swing voters to vote for you?

You must support both analytical and intuitive decision makers.

Analytical Intuitive

Automated Decision can be modeled Information is available Algorithm can be defined

Expert Decision is not modeled Unknown or fuzzy information Experience and judgment

Image sources: Cryteria, Eurogamer.net, Business Insider, CBS Entertainment, Cinema Blend

Prescriptive analytics relies on a combination of approaches •  Business rules and/or program code based on

human expertise and experience. •  Use previously built predictive models. •  Use previously solved mathematical

optimizations. You will likely need a combination of all of these to make the best possible decision.

#Streaming

Streaming analytics can detect and act on perishable insights.

DEFINITION

FORRESTER Streaming analytics filter, aggregate, enrich, and analyze a high throughput of data from

disparate live data sources to identify patterns, detect urgent situations, and automate

immediate actions in real-time.

Real-time means business-time ›  A customer walks into a shopping mall

›  A shopper clicks on an online add

›  A temperature sensor spikes

›  A stock price rises

›  A customer uses a credit card

›  A customer wakes up

Thinking in streams is different…

›  Ingest

›  Filter

›  Transform

›  Normalize

›  Link

›  Enrich

›  Correlate

›  Location/motion (geofencing)

›  Time windows

›  Temporal pattern detection

›  Business logic/rules execution

›  Action interfaces

Continuous ETL Continuous Analytics

How can an online retailer sell more motorcycle helmets and optimize

profits?

›  Temporal pattern detection

›  Time windows

›  Business logic/rules execution

›  Action interfaces

Streaming analytics enables an entirely new real-time selling model

› Analytic: When has this user viewed at least three motorcycle safety products including at least one helmet?

› Action: Display most profitable motorcycle helmets.

› Analytic: What is the real-time daily total sales of motorcycle helmets?

› Action: If sales trending lower than usual, then dynamically lower price.

Temporal Pattern Detection Time Window

Try doing that with plain-old, conventional SQL

SELECT SUM(CustomerViews.view) WHERE CustomerViews.productCategory = ‘MCSafety’ AND …

Hadoop is designed for volume.

Spark is designed for speed.

Spark on Hadoop minimizes the latency of loading HDFS data into memory, and DevOps can use

YARN to tune performance for simultaneous jobs.

Spark and Hadoop can coexist in the same cluster.

Hadooponomics makes batch analytics at scale feasible

SELECT * FROM Hadoop;

Pure SQL for Hadoop

Boosted SQL for Hadoop

•  Apache Hive •  Apache Drill •  Apache Phoenix

(for HBase) •  Cloudera Impala •  Presto •  Spark SQL

•  Actian Vortex •  HP Vertica SQL

on Hadoop •  IBM Big SQL •  JethroData •  Pivotal HAWQ

•  Microsoft Polybase

•  Oracle Big Data SQL

•  Teradata QueryGrid

Database+ SQL for Hadoop

Spark’s directed acyclic graph (DAG) engine maximizes parallelization for batch jobs.

Spark also includes a growing number of specialized tools

Combine application middleware and analytics to create industrial strength “lambda” applications

Silos must disappear or appear to disappear.

Performance of analytics and services must be blazing fast.

Scale to handle any amount of data.

Fault-tolerance is non-negotiable.

Confidential information must be secure.

Solutions and/or platforms must fit seamlessly into existing architectures.

Embed and act on real-time analytics in existing and new applications.

Diverse, community-based rapid innovation.

Your customers are ready to be

treated like celebrities!

What kind of celebrity customer experiences can you create with a

great open source platform?

Think like a venture capitalist to find opportunities in your business.

1. Walk through critical or challenging business processes - At each step of the business process ask how analytics could improve the process

2. Walk through customer experience to improve customer experience

-  At each step of the customer journey, ask how analytics could help create celebrity customer experiences

Build real-time, predictive apps to make it happen.
