Accenture: Commercial analytics insights CPG Companies 27-7-12 Brian Crotty
A fully integrated analytics operating model can help consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies focus commercial analytics resources on high-value processes to grow market share and sustain profit margins.
Market and economic uncertainty is making it difficult for CPG companies to achieve sustainable growth. Value-driven consumers are more demanding than ever before, and retailers are increasingly pushing private labels and looking for ways to control the consumer relationship. Additionally, “big data” has left many marketing and sales organizations with an information overload, yielding little insight into how to win consumer loyalty. This uncertain environment requires CPG companies to make faster, better-informed commercial decisions and take concrete action to improve market performance.
In this point of view, Accenture outlines an approach that can help CPG companies improve their commercial analytics capability to generate significant value.

Data Modeling, Data Governance, & Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is often referred to as the people, processes, and policies around data and information, and these aspects are critical to the success of any data governance implementation. But just as critical is the technical infrastructure that supports the diverse data environments that run the business. Data models can be the critical link between business definitions and rules and the technical data systems that support them. Without the valuable metadata these models provide, data governance often lacks the “teeth” to be applied in operational and reporting systems.

Streaming analytics webinar | 9.13.16 | Guest: Mike Gualtieri from ForresterCubic Corporation
Business success relies heavily on taking the right action, at the right time, all the time. And actions are dictated by data. But the batch-oriented, collect-store-contemplate model employed by Big Data Analytics technologies is incomplete because it does not make use of live data in real time. Without live, real-time data insights gathered are not up-to-date, and cannot accurately inform applications and services that would benefit from continuous, real-time context for time-sensitive decisions.
To thrive, businesses need to be able to use both live and historical data in their applications and services, continuously, concurrently, and correctly and the only technology currently capable of handling it is streaming analytics. Streaming analytics computes data right now, when it can be analyzed and put to good use to make applications of all kinds contextual and smarter.
This webinar held in collaboration with Forrester, Inc., showcased how streaming analytics applications can be built in minutes, to:
- Aggregate, enrich, and analyze a high throughput of data from multiple, disparate live data sources and in any format to identify patterns, detect opportunities, automate actions, and dynamically adapt
- Easily ingest streaming data from multiple disparate sources to multiple sources, within and between cloud and on-premises environments
- Analyze and act on data as it arrives, without needing to store, eliminating unnecessary security risks and storage costs
- Enable real-time analytics with existing business intelligence and data assets.

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Ted – It will help your team get it if we put systems of insight in a bit of context. You have heard us talk about systems of engagement (click). They touch people, need to keep up with them and offer a ton of data you might be able to use to engage.
Systems of record on the other hand….. But to engage customers you frequently need SoR data too, mobile and social aren’t enough.
Brian – Finally, we have defined systems of automation as the way we will connect with control and automate the physical world (click)
But we found that the insights needed engage customers that use physical world products, often came from all three systems (click)
Systems of insight fit between all these things ensure that that data each systems is producing can be used for creating insight and action in the other systems – powering digital business.

Telsa has made a big investmen in instrumenting its product and using all of that data to create a differentiating customer experience. Like I said previously, Telsa realizes that all the data it needs cannot be stored in one place, so it has a pipeline that loads it into a bunch of differnt data store (click).
They have a federated set of teams, that work together to spot problesm with their cars and fix them before they happen (click) that's the Tesla experience (click)
Here is how is works - data scientist work with engineers to develop scripts that lets the engineers run parameterized scripts on demand, these look at fresh car performance data (click) When they spot a problem, they identify potential fixes to Firmware developers who often can deploy solutions over the air (click). For example in one case they spoted ann issue that could benefit from additional performance and did a live over the air firmware update that upped a models horsepower!. when I asked Tesla why the do this, its all about the experience.

Brian – On behalf of Ted and I, I’d like to thank you for sharing this time with us and let us share this exciting research with you. Our wish for you is that you see in this some of the things you are already doing or aspiring to, and also see some new ideas (insights) that lead to action tomorrow as you seeek to deliver on the benefits your firm expects from data and analytics.
I see there have been a few questions typed in as we went, so let’s get to those.
What once was a cost to be managed is now a source of competitive advantage and new revenue streams. Organizations are actively working to gather more data by instrumenting applications, platforms, and physical devices to create more of it and storing it for a longer time horizon– in order to drive this advantage.
Data is now a strategic asset, and you need a strategy for it.
Opportunities that help you generate revenue, acquire new customers, retain customer. Data used wisely can provide competitive advantage to organization. Ignoring the opportunity can risk your business growth with lost market share and reduced revenue.
Apache Hadoop is, in many ways, enabling this shift. With maturity of the platform and technology ecosystem, and with better understanding of the Hadoop ecosystem, the conversation has shifted from technology and pure cost savings, to driving business value with data. Organizations want to discuss aligning data to business objectives in order to derive even greater value.
The three areas of opportunities within businesses generally are:
Customer and Channel – How do I build a 360 picture of my customer to deliver new revenue streams?
Data-Driven Products – How can I build better data-driven products and services, at lower cost?
Security, Risk, and Compliance – How do meet compliance regulations and preserve data security to minimize our corporate risk profile?
Every Hadoop platform lets you store unlimited data, and access it in a variety of ways.

Company Background: M&S is an UK based multi-channel retailer that has around 850 UK stores, 480 international stores in 54 territories. The company sells stylish, high value clothing and home products, as well as outstanding quality food.
Problem: M&S was struggling to understand customer behavior and why customer abandoned shopping carts. Additionally, there were limited insights into supply chain efficiency as well understanding what marketing channel was most efficient. For a large organization like M&S, any item that is returned leads to revenue loss – there was no easy way to predict returns.
Solution: M&S integrated many different data sources into a single platform (click streams, in-store POS, online ordering, and social media)
Value: Used big data analytics to develop a 360-degree customer view offering better understanding of purchase patterns and shopping behaviors across channels with an end goal to design the perfect customer experience. M&S was able to:
Drive revenue from better understanding of customer behavior
Optimize marketing spend
Improve supply chain and reduce inventory costs
Predict product returns
Company Background: Cerner is a technology company committed to the systemic improvement of healthcare.
Challenge: Cerner historically focused on electronic medical records (EMR) but has expanded to help across the spectrum of health and care information. Healthcare data is fragmented and incomplete; in almost all cases no one can see an end-to-end view of a person's health data.
Solution: Hadoop is being used to bring together data from multiple disparate sources to synthesize that end-to-end view.
Value: The end of end view of data is helping Cerner save lives through early detection of Sepsis. They have already saved 100s of lives and reduced hospital readmissions. Patient privacy is very important and Cerner’s 2PB+ environment is secured through robust and centralized security.
Company Background: A UK insurance holdings underwriter that provides insurance solutions to over 1,750,000 customers
Problem: Unable to provide personalized pricing due to limited customer insights and delay in creating quotes. Lack of deeper analytics on customer profile data.
Value & Solution: Markerstudy uses a Cloudera-based enterprise data hub to use real-time and existing customer data for a more accurate overview, ensuring that it provides the most appropriate insurance product and price. Reduce fraud and lower/tailor pricing as a competitive advantage. The new platform allows the to add new 3rd party data sources such as weather and financial market data.
Background: Allstate is one of the largest personal insurance companies in the US
Challenge: Because of all the data Allstate has collected over the years -- both internal, and from external feeds such as traffic patterns, weather data, etc. -- they were unable to analyze everything at scale. For instance, they could look at a single state at a time -- and each state’s analysis took about a day -- but could never run analytics on all 50 states at once. They’d never been able to do large scale graph link analysis.
Solution: Allstate has built a data lake using Enterprise Data Hub which spans every system in the company to break down data silos and provide a single, comprehensive view of all their data.
Value: Allstate can analyze 80 years’ historical data on all 50 US states at once for a comprehensive view of risk, instead of looking at one state at a time.
2) Created highly refined pricing models
3) Faster time to value and 75x improvement in pricing models for customized offers
** Backup reading
Data sources that feed into Cloudera include telematic sensors, customer data, public data, economic data, and Allstate’s EDW. Some of these data sources have never been brought together before, and much of the historical data which hasn’t been digitized couldn’t be analyzed in tandem with external sources until now. The universal data archive is integrated with their incumbent mainframes and data warehouses -- they’ve designed their Cloudera system to complement, not replace, existing infrastructure.
* Backup reading
Hadoop components in use include Hive, Pig, and Python over Hadoop Streaming. Allstate uses Cloudera Manager to manage their Hadoop clusters.
Benefits: Allstate is better equipped with their universal data archive to look back into more historical data than they could before, which helps them build out more accurate and detailed predictive models. With the deeper, more holistic view offered by Allstate’s universal data archive, they can do things like:
Create better and more customized offers for customers;
Develop more precisely tuned pricing models; and
Get a better view of risk at the individual customer level.
Data preparation and ETL run much faster on Cloudera, which means Allstate can finally bring together data from all 50 states for analysis in 16 hours, whereas it took a full day for each state separately before. That’s about a 75X speed-up using Hive, so it would be even faster on Impala. What would have taken a month or two of just running reports was finished in one day with Cloudera. Also, the Cloudera system has brought a social and cultural change to Allstate. Employees across the organization can now share their data and work together to build better descriptive and prescriptive analytics.
When we think of business risks, there are many areas that affect business risks. Some of the key areas are cybersecurity, fraud and compliance. Identifying cybersecurity risk, preventing fraud and meeting compliance requirements help mitigate risks within the organization.
Let’s dive into one of the key areas that affect business risk - Cybersecurity
