Big-Data-The-Case-for-Customer-ExperienceAndrew Smith
This document discusses how big data has evolved from data warehousing in the 1990s to today's focus on big data to better understand customers. It argues that many organizations fail to leverage big data to improve customer experience and gain business insights. To succeed with big data, organizations must develop a clear strategy to deliver business value, such as increasing customer retention and growth. The document recommends that organizations focus big data initiatives on improving the customer experience through integrating customer data and feedback and providing frontline employees with easy access to customer information.
This document discusses Hadoop and big data. It notes that digital data doubles every two years and that 85% of data is unstructured. Hadoop provides a cheaper way to store large amounts of both structured and unstructured data compared to traditional storage options. Hadoop also allows data to be stored first before defining what questions will be asked of the data.

Business intelligence (BI) refers to technologies and applications used to analyze data and present information to help make business decisions. BI evolved from systems in the 1970s and 1980s that provided executives with key performance data. It grew to include data mining, querying, reporting, analytics and more. BI helps businesses make more informed decisions through competitive analysis, customer behavior analysis, targeted strategies, scenario planning, and optimization. Real-time BI that provides constantly updated information is an emerging trend to meet the needs of businesses that want timely data. However, integrating disparate data sources and accounting for constantly changing business structures makes true real-time BI challenging to achieve.
Thinklayer help enterprises in optimizing business operations with Business Analytics and Software Solutions and take smarter decisions with data. Our Mission is to reduce operational cost, increase efficiency and build solutions which helps our clients to take better and smarter decisions. Our promise as a BI Company is to build value into every project while delivering professional expertise.
