I present data models to help companies integrate, organize and analyze their disparate data sources (e.g., operational, financial, constituency and customer feedback) to improve the customer experience and customer loyalty.

4. Big Data
• Big Data refers to the tools and
processes of managing and utilizing
large datasets.
• An amalgamation of different areas that
help us try to get a handle on, insight from
and use out of data

5. Three Vs of Big Data
• Volume – amount of data is massive
• Velocity – speed at which data are
being generated is very fast
• Variety – different types of data like
structured and unstructured

2.Number of calls until
resolution

2.Number of products
purchased
3.Customer tenure

7. Value from Analytics: MIT / IBM 2010 Study
Top-performing
organizations
use analytics five
times more than
lower performers
Copyright 2012 TCELab
http://sloanreview.mit.edu/the-magazine/2011-
winter/52205/big-data-analytics-and-the-path-from-
insights-to-value/
Number one obstacle to
the adoption of analytics
in their organizations was
a lack of understanding
of how to use analytics to
improve the business
8. Three Big Data Approaches
1. Interactive Exploration - good
for discovering real-time patterns from your
data as they emerge
2. Direct Batch Reporting - good
for summarizing data into pre-built,
scheduled (e.g., daily, weekly) reports
3. Batch ETL (extract-transform-load) -
good for analyzing historical trends or
linking disparate data
