Market Update

BI, Analytics, DW and Big Data is a booming market. In particular, Big Data, and the analysis of it, is becoming increasingly important to organisational decision making as technology records more and more ecommerce and behavioural data. However, organisations no longer want just reporting, they want insights on data to forecast and predict future demand.

In particular, the next 12 months will see advanced analytics become more ingrained in the Australian business landscape. The financial services, retail and telecommunications sectors are expected to activate analytics projects they have been planning for some time. Those industries with the wheels of advanced analytics already in motion, including utilities and large media companies, will begin putting strategies in place for future activity. Australia’s mid-market i.e. banking & finance and retail will continue to mature in their business intelligence capabilities, but are likely to remain further behind the industry leaders in terms of analytics. The importance of information as a corporate asset is growing exponentially with the need to leverage accurate insights to counter threats from new competitors.

Key skills shortages look likely to be in the decision science area. The Australian financial services, retail and telecommunications industries are comparatively advanced, with large companies already developing

and implementing strategies to gain a competitive advantage. Customer micro targeting is becoming particularly common in these industries, with organisations using data on specific customer history and wider demographics to determine likely buying patterns, behaviours and additional sales opportunities.

Consequently there are significant skills shortages for people with predictive and propensity modelling skills, coming from PHD maths/statistics and STEM level backgrounds, and those that can interpret data and provide insight to the business in a non-technical manner.

As business’ move away from IT-Centric Reporting and Analysis Platforms to modern BI and Analytics Platforms to meet the time-to-insight demanded by today’s competitive business environment, many organizations want to democratize analytics capabilities via self-service. IM, BI and Analytics professionals will need to adapt to this market as it evolves.
