Data powers all analytics today—driving industry workflows from customer and market intelligence to property underwriting, risk management, and resource allocation. Internal structured data alone is not sufficient—it is imperative to enrich your data.
Data enrichment helps leaders make intelligent decisions with contextual information to help extract deeper business insights. Most importantly, data enrichment can help better utilize existing tools and resources to gain competitive advantages through confident decision-making.
Understanding your data in the context of location opens the door to more intelligent business decisions. Organizations can gain powerful new insights from curated data sets, adding value by linking business data records to real-life locations.
Join this TDWI Webinar for presentations and a roundtable discussion about how to realize the value of incorporating data enrichment into current business processes for better-informed, data-driven decisions.
Join this on-demand webinar to learn:
- Data enrichment practices for driving better decisions in telco, property technology (proptech), and insurance
- Leveraging trusted attributes to inform machine learning and other analytics models
- How to easily incorporate accurate, complete, and current data into business processes
5. Analytics: Powering Confident Decisions
• Data-rich analytics: Critical to moving beyond descriptive reporting
and dashboards to answering “why,” “what will happen,” and “how to
achieve the best outcome” questions
– Toward prescriptive analytics and recommendations

• Key areas of focus today:
– Operations: Process optimization;
monitoring trends to be proactive
– Risk awareness: Improving
detection, protection, and recovery
– Agility: flexibility and resilience
– Innovation: Developing products,
services; competitive advantages
6. Improving Insights into Data Relationships
• Analytics: Drawing attention to understanding
of data relationships across diverse data
– Confident decision-making depends on
complete, quality views of data relationships
• For customer 360, supply chains, manufacturing,
retail, property, and other business decisions
– 34% in TDWI research say that making it easier
to discover data relationships is a key part of
their current data strategy; 42% for the future
– 21% are currently satisfied with their ability to
visualize and analyze data relationships; 50%
seek some improvement; 23% major upgrade

7. Data Enrichment: Key to Informed Decisions
• Data enrichment: Combining internal data with
related interesting data from other internal
sources or third-party curated data
– E.g., contextual information such as addresses,
demographics, public records, customer trends
• Enriching raw data: Critical to gaining value
from high volumes being collected in cloud data
lakes (43% in TDWI research have one)
• Analytics: Enrichment to shorten the path to
value and user productivity
– 35% in TDWI research spend at least 60% of their
time on data preparation, which includes manual
enrichment. Less time for delivering value

8. Enriching Data for Location Intelligence
• Location intelligence is an important data
enrichment: Increases understanding of all data
– Complex relationships between people, things,
addresses, property characteristics, points of interest
– Property, to be discussed in our roundtable
• Requires accurate geocoding: Standardized,
cleansed, and validated addresses to develop
location coordinates
– Basis for analyzing data and guiding further enrichment
– Examining data relationships for understanding
attribution (what affects what) regarding customer
behavior, property issues, etc.
– Value of curated data sets for enrichment
9. Location Intelligence for Confident Decisions
• Location provides data relationship insights:
Adding value by linking business data records to
locations
– Using geocoding to understand connections
between places and what exists or occurs there
– Goal of making it easier to answer business
questions through location data relationships
• Customer journeys, healthcare, supply chains
• In digital transformation to improve processes
• Beyond BI limits: Traditional BI focused on
temporal data with occasional maps
– LI is location-first and aimed at powerful analytics
about why something is happening in a location

10. Data Enrichment’s Value for Decisions
• Customer intelligence: Enrichment to increase
value of raw data from transactions, online behavior,
site traffic, and interactions via multiple channels
– Using location data and/or third-party demographics
and marketing data to deepen understanding of
campaign effectiveness
– Data enrichment for customer 360 for more
meaningful engagement and higher loyalty
– More intelligent and effective daily decisions and
overall strategies for resources, property, and more
• Enabling data collaboration with partners:
Potential for more complete views through shared
data enrichment
11. In Conclusion: Accelerating Confidence
• Analytics driving trend toward inclusion of
more data sources: Data integration is becoming
faster and easier, including through APIs
– Enrichment technologies and practices can bring
added value to raw data and increase confidence in
operational and strategic decisions
• Geocoding and location intelligence: Data
enrichment to, or through geocoding offers
important ways to complete the data picture
• Apply to pilot projects for business advantage
– Customer intelligence is often first, but supply chain,
property management, resource management, and
fraud and abuse detection are also candidates

12. Poll Question
• What is your biggest challenge in trying to accelerate
confident decision-making?
– Users do not have a complete view of data about subjects of interest
(e.g., customers, resources, locations)
– Users spend too much time on preparing and enriching data, leaving
too little time for building value through analytics
– Users need more trusted, curated data to enrich raw data and other
internal sources
– We need stronger management support for modernizing tools and
practices
– Other (use the Q&A format to write in answer)
