Business analytics is the practice of iterative, methodical
exploration of an organization’s data with emphasis on
statistical analysis. Business analytics is used by companies
committed to data-driven decision making.
Why do we need Business Analytics?
• Eliminate guesswork
• Get faster answer to your question
• Get insight into customer behaviour
• Identify cross selling and up selling opportunities
• Get key business metrics reports when and where you need them
Difficulties relating to business analytics
• huge volume of high-quality data.
• integrating and reconciling data across different systems, and then
deciding what subsets of data to make available.
• considered an after-the-fact method of forecasting consumer
behaviour
• requires a lot of storage space and must react extremely fast to
provide the necessary data in real-time
Types of Analytics
• Descriptive analytics – what happened?
• Predictive analytics- what would happen?
• Prescriptive analytics- what should we do?
• Decisive analytics – which technology (e.g. visual analytics)
to select for supporting the business decisions
