Big data is not just for big companies. Any company can leverage big data to gain business insights and transform their operations. Big data provides opportunities to gain insights from diverse data sources, answer questions in real-time, and unlock new business value and strategies. While big data solutions require identifying pain points, inventorying data streams, and testing pilots, any company can start to capitalize on big data through a trusted partner to help address critical issues around data volume, velocity, and variety.

7. But We Are Not a Big Company….
Big Data is NOT about how big or small the company is, it is about using data
as a competitive advantage
Retail
Imagine if you could enable shop floor staff to quickly gain access to specific customer
data while the customer was in the store (or online) so that they could provide
personalized (best match) services.
Wholesale Distribution
Imagine if you could rapidly and easily segment large customer populations and create
customized offers for each segment and channel.
Manufacturing
Imagine if you could determine how many parts were manufactured over time, their
costs, defect rates, any manufacturing inefficiencies, and all this could be done for
each discrete batch of products made, so you could predict malfunctions before they
happened.
Cross Industry
Imagine gaining insight into market trends & customer perception of brands and
products by combining information from CRM with unstructured data from online
channels like social media, wikis, and more.

8. Case Studies
"The ability to assess the complex risk of funding a supplier in a split second is
just something that has never been possible…This opens an incredible new field
of financial applications, such as Taulia's Dynamic Discounting and Early Payment
solutions, but those are just the start. At Taulia, we can now understand more
data, more quickly, and more effectively than ever before.”
Markus Ament, Chief Product Officer

9. Case Studies
“The combined solution enables users to analyze aggregated information from
multiple social media channels, identify influencers and persons of interest and
bring this social view into SAP CRM… The 300x performance boost provided by
SAP HANA is the reason that the solution can quickly carry out matching between
CRM and Social Media data and perform segmentation at high speeds.”

media sentiment, supply chain efficiency etc)

data etc
