The CSC Big Data Analytics Insights service enables clients who do not have an analytics capability to implement the business, data and technology changes to gain business benefit from an initial set of analytics based on a roadmap of changes created by CSC or provided from a compatible set of inputs.
CSC Analytic Insights Implementation has four phases:

Stage 4: Embedding Analysis .
The economy over the last few years has been tough on global manufacturing companies in developed countries. Many older plants have closed and modernization plans have been postponed or scaled back. In emerging countries, fuel costs are high relative to other areas and labor costs are increasing rapidly. In the US and EMEA, fuel costs are lower and labor costs are stable, but the cost of dealing with increasing government regulations are rising to offset these favorable trends.
Globally, manufacturing is still growing, albeit at slower rates than in the past, but new plants are still being built apace. These competing and fluctuating pressures in each market area mean plant managers must have access to accurate, timely information to manage their plant’s revenue and cost portfolios.
In addition to optimizing the performance of plant assets, in both developed and emerging markets there is a growing interest in modernization for energy efficiency and limiting environmental damage. Previous incremental process improvement approaches have been too little to late, and other than some savings in miscellaneous costs, plants are still struggling in competitive markets to stay in business. It is the time for global manufacturers in all market areas to rethink their approaches to plant operation and maintenance.
Modern plant equipment is now fully instrumented for integration into the “smart plant”, yet this data is still relegated to the plant control room and is very infrequently used to affect the bottom line of the business. Valuable asset performance data is displayed then lost for future use The irony is that investment in new plants in emerging or mature markets means manufacturers have access to more data than ever before and yet are not taking full advantage of it.. Companies that can modernize their use of their information assets as well as their plant assets will lead the recovery and gain an immediate competitive advantage.
