This document discusses analytics and information architecture. It begins by describing how analytics workloads are moving away from data warehouses to more specialized platforms. It then discusses what distinguishes analytics from reporting, including that analytics involve complex summaries of information and linking analyses to business actions. The document examines various data platforms used for analytics and contends that ParAccel Analytic Database is well-suited for analytics workloads due to its columnar structure, compression, SQL support, and ability to utilize Hadoop data without replication. It concludes by proposing an information architecture with Hadoop for big data, ParAccel for analytics, and data warehouses for operational support.

What we do; predictive and prescriptive analyticsWeibull AS
Prescriptive Analytics goes beyond descriptive, diagnostic and predictive analytics; by being able to recommend specific courses of action and show the likely outcome of each decision.
Predictive analytics will tell what probably will happen, but will leave it up to the client to figure out what to do with it.
Prescriptive analytics will also tell what probably will happen, but in addition: when it probably will happen and why it likely will happen, thus how to take advantage of this predictive future. Since there are always more than one course of action prescriptive analytics have to include: predicted consequences of actions, assessment of the value of the consequences and suggestions of the actions giving highest equity value for the company.
Business is running ever faster—generating, collecting and using increas-ing volumes of data about every aspect of the interactions between sup-pliers, manufacturers, retailers and customers. Within these mountains of data are seams of gold—patterns of behavior that can be interpreted, classified and analyzed to allow predictions of real value. Which treat-ment is likely to be most effective for this patient? What can we offer that this particular customer is more likely to buy? Can we identify if that transaction is fraudulent before the sale is closed?

Industry researchers at Gartner announced in April 2012 that the worldwide business intelligence, analytics, and performance management software market surpassed the US$12 Billion level in 2011, a 16.4% increase over the previous year. This statistic is among many pointing to the need for both groups to apply what management guru Peter Senge proclaimed decades ago in The Fifth Discipline: the need for a learning organization. This presentation focuses on three learning areas for anyone in the business analytics profession. First, we analysts need to learn what the markets and industries are saying today. We discuss recent trends which show how analytics will shape the future. Second, we need to learn what group learning options are available. From industry conferences (such as the PASS BA Conference, and virtual PASS sessions) to free MOOCs (massive open online courses), we have more options available to improve our knowledge. Finally, we need to learn what leadership roles our groups can have. We can leverage social networks (including PASS) and social media -- both individually and as organizations -- to communicate passion.

This presentation gives a high level overview on the deployment opportunities of analytics in the electronics supply chain space given the actual supply chain trends within the global electronics industry.
The purpose of business intelligence is to support better business decision making. BI systems provide historical, current, and predictive views of business operations, most often using data that has been gathered into a data warehouse or a data mart and occasionally working from operational data.
Arun Gupta, Customer Care Associate and Group Chief Technology Officer, Shoppers Stop presented at the Premier Business Leadership Series 2010, http://www.sas.com/theserieshk.
With many retailers worldwide struggling to maintain revenues, how do you grow in such a tough competitive landscape? As a leading Indian retailer and pioneer in using technology, especially business analytics, Shoppers Stop is not only thriving but has helped revolutionise the retail sector. Gupta will share insights on using analytics to drive business value, reduce operational costs and provide better products and customer experience.
A recent examination of Nucleus Research ROI case studies found
organizations earn an average of $10.66 for every dollar spent on
deployments of analytics applications such as business intelligence (BI),
performance management (PM), and predictive analytics. With such high
returns to be earned on the deployment of analytics, management teams
should consider these technologies to be one of the most attractive
investment opportunities available to the CFO.
The next generation user experience should move to customer engagement zones along their preferred channels with desired action to outcome approaches. With scores of information ranging from inventory to inquiry, weather to warehouse alerts, product to promotion info at disposal, enterprise digitization can create value at every customer touch point. Attendees witnessed the manifestation of TCS’ Thought Leadership in the Game of Retail.

Operationalizing Customer Analytics with Azure and Power BICCG
Many organizations fail to realize the value of data science teams because they are not effectively translating the analytic findings produced by these teams into quantifiable business results. This webinar demonstrates how to visualize analytic models like churn and turn their output into action. Senior Business Solution Architect, Mike Druta, presents methods for operationalizing analytic models produced by data science teams into a repeatable process that can be automated and applied continuously using Azure.
Few companies realize the full benefits of analytics initiatives to improve the customer experience. Here's a six-step guide for moving beyond operational reporting to enabling predictive insights.
I have been drinking from a virtual fire hose since joining my most recent technology company, Anametrix, a cloud-based digital analytics innovator. A whole new book opened for me on how digital analytics can both increase top line revenue and reduce spend by shining a very bright flashlight into marketing efforts.
We are all painfully aware of the data explosion problem. In 2011, the Gartner Group stated that information volume collected by businesses today is growing at a minimum 59% annually. The rapid adoption of social media has also caused customer data to explode in the last few years, creating entirely new challenges for marketers. It is now imperative for organizations to think differently to accommodate the variety, volume, and velocity of their growing customer-related data.
This is where my recent experiences come in: I have personally seen how digital analytics can harness the power of massive amounts customer-related data. It can literally simplify the accelerating complexity by providing deep visibility – as well as clarity – into the effectiveness of various marketing efforts, across both online and offline channels.
I will now outline the role of IT and CFO in adopting cloud-based digital analytics solutions, discuss the benefits as well as challenges of moving to this emerging category, and provide some illustrative examples on how digital analytics can transform your marketing organization.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
