The document discusses how data and analytics have become a new source of competitive advantage. It notes that the C-suite is demanding more business results from insights like customer growth, revenue growth, and share growth. However, research teams often struggle to deliver real-time data and insights, provide a future view, and increase business impact due to limited delivery systems, data silos, and a tactical mindset. The document outlines seven critical steps for research teams, which include cultivating a growth mindset, observing rather than just asking, synthesizing data, democratizing data access, disaggregating the value chain, evolving industry business models, and rethinking skill sets to focus more on business outcomes and consultancy.

Customer experience measurement in the utilities industry – closing the loop
Though utilities enjoy the relative comfort of a semi-monopolistic market, they do need to address the challenges around deregulation pressures and the continued to need to maintain profitability with a commodity product that only makes its presence felt when it is absent. In addition, environment consciousness, sensitivity to climate change, and demand for clean energy is at unprecedented levels – creating competitive pressures that utilities have never experienced before. Satisfied customers raise the competitive threshold and hence assure predictable and steady revenue streams.
Effectively managing customer engagement at every touch point to ensure a positive, memorable experience is key to retaining customers and enhancing customer life time value. Dynamically aligning the organization to changing customer preferences and expectations is key to creating and retaining a competitive edge in the markets.This requires a good understanding of the customer’s collective and segmented usage patterns, attitudes, preferences, dislikes, concerns, habits, behaviors and budgets. To successfully manage customer experience, there is also the need for an ability to quantify all of these characteristics and track them over a period of time to understand the gradual evolution in these.
This webinar will summarize the need for customer experience measurement in the utilities industry and the evolving challenges associated with measuring customer satisfaction. During this knowledge sharing session, we will be sharing a holistic approach towards customer experience measurement – especially with respect to harnessing the plethora of information sources available today. We will present the latest thinking on what drives customer experience in the utilities sector. We will end the session with an outlining of the key information areas that utilities need to monitor, the types of analytics and tools to consider, and the approaches that are likely to yield the best returns on your Customer Experience Measurement (CEM).
Microsoft & Blueocean Case study at TMRE'13
This document discusses Microsoft's use of "Extension Teams" provided by blueocean market intelligence to enhance their market research capabilities. The Extension Teams allow Microsoft researchers to spend more time providing strategic insights to business units rather than operational tasks. The teams provide additional capacity, skills, speed and access to diverse data sources. This enables Microsoft researchers to take a 360 degree view of problems and issues. An example project analyzing the emerging "Phablet" category demonstrated the benefits of using multiple data to provide integrated insights that informed Microsoft's understanding of new markets. Over time, blueocean has expanded the Extension Team model across more of Microsoft with the goal of increasing the impact and ROI of Microsoft's market research investments.
How to Create More Effective Storytelling by Leveraging Data
Today, dashboards have become the epitome for communicating important business data and performance metrics. Instrumental in helping organizations achieve corporate alignment around business goals and objectives, they enable faster decision making, drive data-driven business strategies and ensure ROI.
Yet, the road to building dashboards for effective storytelling is not always easy. Often organizations struggle to create the right visual dashboards due to missing links between the data and story, or the amount of time and budget invested, which digress from the main objective of the visualization exercise. Additionally, the approach to storyboard development has been traditionally flawed with just a focus on the analysis – not telling a broader story. Then, even after organizations fine tune their dashboard and align with corporate objectives, they can still find themselves falling down in terms of adoption.
In this webinar, Anees Merchant, Senior Vice President of Blueocean Market Intelligence, will share with attendees how to develop a strong practice around data visualization and structure effective processes for success. Anees will also share various best practices and mistakes to avoid so organizations can produce powerful, actionable dashboards that are intuitive and include insights that are easily interpreted by all stakeholders.
Persona™
The document discusses new approaches to customer segmentation. Traditional segmentation methods focus on behavioral data and transactions, but fail to account for individual customer needs and preferences.

The document introduces Blueocean Market Intelligence's Persona solution, which creates detailed individual customer profiles by integrating online data sources. These profiles provide a holistic view of each customer to improve targeting, marketing, sales, and product strategies. Organizations can group profiles into enriched buyer personas to better understand and serve customers.

A case for business analytics learning
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.

The document discusses the challenges facing C-suite executives and their need for strategic partnerships with marketing agencies. It outlines five key issues for C-suites: trust, teamwork, focus, confidence, and passion. It argues that for agencies to become true strategic partners, they must shift their paradigms in several ways - by putting skin in the game, improving the client's business not just marketing, being willing to say no to non-strategic work, insisting on objective metrics and data-driven decisions, and going the extra mile to demonstrate passion for the client's success. The document provides approaches agencies can take to redefine their value, relationship, and metrics of success with C-suite partners.

Gaining competitive advantage through customer feedback
Organizations do not typically reveal their customer service or product issues, competitive advantage, road maps or future updates so willingly. However, we know that valuable insights into competitor activities can be obtained using user feedback. Product and service feedback sourced from customers, reviews on competitor websites, third-party and customer discussion forums can enable organizations to better understand sentiments and develop future strategies for their products and services.
How to leverage hiring data for competitive insights
Most leading companies are not very outspoken about how they operate their business, or plan their strategies and future moves. However, a company’s hiring data can reveal valuable insights and allow you to read in-between the lines. When these insights are correlated with secondary source data, press releases or interviews, it can prove to be a formidable and factual representation of the competitor's focus and momentum in various areas, including new business/products, geographies, and verticals or industries.
This webinar is applicable and highly relevant to all industries that operate at an ultra-fast, dynamic pace and where there are frequent activities that disrupt the course or direction of the industry or market. Attendees will learn how to:
• Understand competitor moves and centers of focus using hiring data
• Leverage insights around new business/products, geographies, vertical/industries and more
• Analyze hiring data and various parameters to identify the strategic moves, investments and priorities
• Compare hiring data periodically and steadily track competitor tactics
Using Unstructured Text Data to Stay Ahead of Market Trends and Quantify Cust...
With the exponential growth of social media and new touchpoints, customers are interacting with brands and organizations at a much faster pace, generating volumes of unstructured data in the form of customer reviews, feedback, preferences, trends, etc. Other metadata such as demographic data, transaction data or point of sale data, when combined with unstructured data can help organizations better understand consumer behavior and market forces, at a much more granular and deeper level. This enables brands to make effective business decisions for profitable growth.
This presentation explains how unstructured data analytics can help in building a digital library of news, blogs, and research papers to keep track of changing trends and news, as well as creating a digital summary to ensure information from various online resources are used to ensure technology, product development, and customer experience teams stay updated about the latest trends.
The presentation also covered and introduced our Unstructured Text Analytics Platform ("UTAP") which allows the automation of classification of unstructured text data to categories, enabling organizations to track customer categories/issues over a stipulated period of time, with faster and more efficient analysis of unstructured text data.
Persona™
Blueocean Market Intelligence has created a proprietary solution called "Persona™" that enhances an organizations’ current customer segmentation or can be used to conduct an independent digital customer segmentation exercise. This solution provides insights around customers’ spending habits, purchase patterns, past behavior and purchases, recent and historical interaction with product categories, etc. It tracks and understands digital attributes, digital body language, up and downstream click data, sales funnel position and device preferences are important considerations for effectively identifying and building digital personas.
Using Persona's technology platform to capture Big Data effectively, we are able to empower global marketing teams to get closer to one-on-one marketing by delivering the right content to the right person, at the best time on the preferred channel.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
