Using Data to Make Better Business Decisions

To compete in today’s sophisticated economy, it’s critical that your business decisions about pricing and other offer components take into consideration the abundance of data available and be made using the most advanced analytical techniques. Today’s consumers have come to expect highly personalized, relevant interactions with their service providers. It’s the new norm.

Is your decision-making based on this type of customer insight?With Earnix, banks can incorporate the same advanced analytics that make better business decisions possible for the tech giants, and enable them to present a highly customized user experience.

Banks and other financial service providers can orchestrate offers across their customer base giving them the ability to:

• Compete in the new personalized economy

• Deliver improved revenues and profitability

• Optimize offer components such as price and product features

• Integrate real-time data and analytics directly into operational business processes

• Use the most advanced technologies, such as machine learning, to make the entire process fast and efficient

Earnix has a long and successful track record of working with many of the world’s leading banks. As a re-sult, we offer the industry’s most comprehensive pricing & analytics software - as well as expertise gained

from working with these sophisticated institutions.

The Banking Industry

Earnix’s solution suite for Banking provides the most comprehensive set of pricing and analytics tools designed specifically for the banking analyt-ics professional. The Banking Suite’s integrated modules work together and are flexible — in order to adapt to the needs of your evolving business. You’ll benefit from the increased efficiency and integration that comes from a single user interface, as well as the reliability that comes with not having to duplicate data - which can often be error prone.

As the user moves from one module to the next, results are delivered quickly — and in a consistent fashion — without IT support that is often needed from custom integration processes. Earnix offers the freedom and flexibility needed for analytics

professionals and teams to make quick business decisions.

After the initial set up, managers and analytics professionals can use the single interface without technical guidance. Minimal customization of the environment is needed, so you can be up and run-ning in a matter of days.

While Earnix offers the choice of either cloud or on-premise deployment, most select the cloud en-vironment because of the many benefits: fast and easy setup, improved security, minimal IT involve-ment, and minimal initial hardware expense.

In the banking industry today, pricing and business analytics directly affects customer decisioning and in turn the customer experience. Banks must take multiple data factors and inputs, organizational constraints, and regulatory imperatives into consideration when determining how to integrate pricing decisions into the operational process. Whether it’s managing discretionary pricing, determining market offers, setting rates and fees across the product portfolio, or better predicting and understanding customer lifetime value – Earnix provides the analytical decision support needed to move the organization forward.

Earnix Solution Modules

Data Management

This module helps banks integrate data from mul-tiple sources into a single repository for modelling. It imports, cleans, modifies, and prepares data for model building. It is designed to avoid the inef-ficiency of having to query external data manage-ment tools to perform simple actions.

Decision Optimization helps you understand busi-ness tradeoffs to maximize results. Combining predictive models across various dimensions ena-bles a holistic view of your banking portfolio. You can also easily add or change internal and external constraints to understand the implications on your optimized scenarios, dimensions, policies, and business goals. Management can be confident that the best possible product and price combinations to meet customer needs while optimizing company goals for price, volume, retention, and profitability are deployed.

What is the result of your price change? What are the conversion rates and how are customers responding?

Key performance indicators can be monitored to quickly understand if you are achieving your desired goals, or if

you need to modify your pricing or business decisions. Insights can be incorporated into the closed loop feed-back process to improve analytical projects and pricing

scenarios over time.

Monitor Customer or Competition Movement

with Ease

Decision Optimization

Decision Optimization provides both a granular and graphical view into proposed business tradeoffs.

Reporting provides detailed insights on the KPIs and metrics that matter most to your organization.

Reports and visual insights are only as good as the data and analytics that lie underneath. With Earnix,

you can easily share insights across the organiza-tion or lines of business quickly. Not only do you have access to both 2D and 3D reports, you can

create reports in a variety of formats, including bar and graph reports, scatter plots, box plots and heat maps, efficient frontier and sensitivity analyses, and geo- spatial reports. Business analytics profession-

als and managers can generate reports on their own and distribute them in multiple formats as required.

Insights can be gleaned by analytics professionals and executives quickly, and that information can be

used to make business critical decisions.

Reporting

Real-time integration translates into being able to develop, analyze, deploy, and present customer offers

almost instantaneously. Quick delivery means being more competitive, and being able to react quickly

to changing market dynamics. Once pricing projects and scenarios are executed in Earnix, they can be

transported via web services and API technologies to customer-facing channels and systems. These offers

can also be tracked for optimal governance and man-agement. The Earnix solution accesses a full library of tested offers that can be delivered in sub-second

times across various time periods and to downstream deployment software systems.

Release to Production to Execute Proposed Changes

in Real-Time

Visual ModelingAnalytics professionals have the ability to model risk, demand, conversion, and retention propensi-ties at the level of sophistication your organization needs. This can be done in a visual manner all while advancing the analytical maturity of your modeling efforts with machine learning and hybrid modeling techniques. All relevant diagnostics for model con-struction are available, providing a faster and more intuitive interface than other vendors provide.

What-if Simulation

Many pricing scenarios must be considered and compared in order to understand potential volume and profit trade-offs and then select the best op-tion. Develop refined estimates of the outcomes before you put the decision into the market using what-if simulation.

The level of sophistication in analytical optimization projects continues to increase with the introduction and full productization of the discrete optimization solver. The discrete solver optimization algorithm allows organizations to optimize rating tables that include multiple variables where the relationship between the variables is critical (e.g. monotonic), while maintaining rates at the desired granularity. This algorithm facilitates solving optimization problems with discontinuities, or gaps in the demand function that might lead to local

maxima – which often can be a problem for standard optimization software.

The result of these new algorithms is that more complex discrete optimization scenarios are now possible, more dimensions with regard to monotonicity problems are accounted for, and better performance results against more complex data sets are being achieved.
