• Analytics is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of
drawing conclusions about that information. Analytics is used in many
industries to allow companies and organization to make better business
decisions and in the sciences to verify or disprove existing models or
theories. – Techtarget.com

Classification of Analytics
• Descriptive - Descriptive analytics extracting information from the data
for making decisions and inferences.
E.g. Which store is the most profitable one ?
• Predictive - Predictive analytics is an area of statistical analysis that deals
with extracting information from data and using it to predict future trends
and behavior patterns.
E.g. How many customers will leave my network in the next 3 months ?


• Risk Analytics – Which customer is going to default ?
• Marketing Analytics – Which customer will buy my new
product ?
• Collection Analytics – What should I do to get my customer
pay back the loan ?
• Web Analytics – How many hits do I get ? Who visits my
website ? Which content is boring ?
• Supply Chain Analytics – What is the most ideal location for
choosing a hub so that I gain max profit ?


There are basically 2 approaches to analytics
• Product Approach – Buy an analytics tool and execute projects in house
• Service Approach – Source the projects to analytics companies who
execute them using analytics tools

because of the subscriber based SW and HW
• Paradigm shift -Might bring a change in the analytics methodology.
• Reduced Project Timelines -Project Duration might come down drastically
• More to gain - Overall ROI on Analytics will increase
• Product Vs Service - Product based Analytics companies have an
advantage over service based companies
• Domain Knowledge – Domain specific BI & Analytics Software companies
have an advantage over generic players
• Big = Small - Size advantage will diminish if not removed
