This presentation discusses how companies can simplify their analytics strategies to better understand large amounts of data and make more informed decisions. It recommends accelerating data processing to generate faster insights, delegating analytical work to technologies, and using next-generation business intelligence and data visualization. An example is given of a bank that improved processing times by several hours using these techniques. The presentation also covers using data discovery to uncover unexpected patterns and stresses that different approaches work uniquely for each situation and problem.
