BANKING / FINANCIAL SERVICES Driving Big Data for Profitability and Risk Management
The banking industry is facing some tough challenges. The dramatic decline in profits and eroding trust in the industry means Customers now expect a more personalized experience from their banks.
Analytics can be leveraged with marketing and risk management strategies to drive revenue, increase retention and acquire new customers.
Key Focus areas:
. Predictive Analytics – Next Best Offer, Roll Rates, Customer Retention
. Developing and Managing Credit Score Risk Models
. Driving Analytics Adoption and Best Practices
. Customer Segmentation and Behavioral Insights
. Building an Analytics Team
. New Data Sources for Customer Insight and Risk Adjustment
In a recent McKinsey report, banks are using big data to sharpen their risk assessment and improve underwriting accuracy. MANUFACTURING
In order to anticipate, or quickly respond to, demand and supply changes, manufacturers need to improve strategic alignment, strengthen customer focus and gain visibility into impact of customer, supply and financial decisions.
Business Analytics has Industry solutions for electronics, aerospace, automotive and industrial products manufacturers that help them: . Understand customers and plan demand . Optimize sales and operations planning . Build smarter supply chains . Predict maintenance issues and reduce impact . Streamline sales compensation processes
Manufacturers are also identifying a myriad of benefits from using big data and analytics including: . Combining customer behaviors and transactional views to help establish priorities . Identifying potential new micro-markets based on events or trending customer preferences . Combining user requirements, new features and bug fixes to create ROI for new product launches . Predicting recalls, supplier disruption and other crises can boost organizational readiness The Connected Vehicle: Improving the Driver Experience
Leverage additional sources of data to understand and analyze driver behaviors in order to improve the overall driver experience. These insights can be fed into the product design processes and used to enhance the customer’s driving experience.
Some of these new sources of data for driver behavioral analytics include:
. On-board navigation
. Telematics
. GPS-enable smartphone apps
. Weather conditions
. Sensor-generated data (sensors, onboard communications, GPS, telematics) especially as manufacturers move towards the “connected vehicle” with upwards of 10,000+ sensors per vehicle generating data including MPH, MPG, RPM, oil pressure, water temperature, engine temperature, tire wear, oil viscosity, fuel efficiency, etc.
OIL & GAS
The Oil and Gas industry, a sector known for its rapid adoption and ability to adapt to challenges of the digital age, is entering a new generation of digital transformation. As assets yields become harder to access and even harder to forecast, it is imperative that one’s organization is collecting and maintaining its data efficiently.
As companies take in petabytes of data daily, it is the ability to understand analytics trends, correctly interpret all geological, engineering, production and equipment data performance data quickly and efficiently that ensure success. This trend will affect the 20,000 companies that are associated with the oil business, and in order to remain ahead of the game, almost all of them needs data analytics to integrate technology throughout the oil and gas lifecycle.
Big Data Analytics for Oil & Gas:
. Utilize operational data to drive proactive E&P decision-making that will reduce cost and improve recovery rate
. Inject confidence in decision-making by capitalizing on data science to statistically predict producibility in a quick and cost-efficient manner
. Best practices for integration over wide variety of large data set
. Increase productivity and efficiency across all major business units through the best practices for data harmonization
RETAIL
Early on, retailers discovered that consumers objected to anyone getting too close to their personal information. This included their actual location. Technology limits aside, privacy concerns have dulled the appetite for on-the- spot advertising.
Instead, retail companies are more likely to use big data analytics to develop profiles which are then used to build personalized customer loyalty programs. TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The communications industry is rapidly evolving with escalating infrastructure costs, declining customer acquisition rates due to market saturation, high customer churn rates, declining ARPU
(Average Revenue Per User) and competition making it difficult to monetize new applications and generate new sources of revenue.
Business analytics solutions help communications service providers address challenges in two key areas:
1. Improve network and services to reduce customer churn
2. Transform operations and optimize call center

. To optimizing the flow of products and services through entire value streams that flow horizontally across technologies, assets, and departments to customers.
. The term "lean" was coined to describe Toyota's business during the late 1980s by a research team headed by Jim Womack, Ph.D., at MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program. SO WHAT IS AGILE ?
. Agile management or agile process management is an iterative and incremental method of managing the design and build activities for engineering, information technology, and new product or service development in a highly flexible and interactive manner.
. It requires capable individuals from the relevant business, with supplier and customer input.
. Agile methods were developed as a reaction to various obstacles that developed in more sequential forms of project organization.
. Agile management also offers a simple framework promoting communication amongst team members.
. Agile methods are mentioned in the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) under the Project Lifecycle definition: Adaptive project life cycle, a project life cycle, also known as change-driven or agile methods, that is intended to facilitate change and require a high degree of ongoing stakeholder involvement. Adaptive life cycles are also iterative and incremental, but differ in that iterations are very rapid (usually 2-4 weeks in length) and are fixed in time and resources.
