Advanced analytics benefits are too numerous to mention! What if your business users could leverage self-serve advanced analytics to see and use data in a way that made their jobs easier and made them more of an asset to the business?
One of the most common excuses used to avoid data democratization and self-serve augmented data discovery is that the organization cannot guarantee data integrity and that, if business users have access to dated, incorrect or incomplete data, the resulting decisions will not be better but rather worse than the decisions made today. Further, this theory says that the distribution of this inaccurate data will have a systemic effect on truth and promote disastrous business decisions. There are several mistaken assumptions in this theory, and several ways an organization can guarantee success in a data democratization initiative.
What is advanced analytics? Where to start? Advanced analytics takes analysis to the next level by providing sophisticated techniques designed to get to the heart of data and offer insight and answers with which businesses can make more accurate decisions and develop more dependable, accurate plans and forecasts. Advanced Analytics includes predictive analytics, smart data visualization, and other components.
ElegantJ BI, an innovative vendor with its Smarten approach to Augmented Analytics and Self-Serve Data Preparation, is pleased to announce that Elegant MicroWeb (Smarten) is included as one of the Other Modern: Asia-Focused Vendors in the Gartner ‘Other Vendors to Consider for Modern Analytics and BI’ Report published on October 29, 2018.
The ‘culture’ of an organization includes habits and processes that are familiar and comfortable. There are many aspects to the success of a culture change within a business organization. When an enterprise decides to move from the silo spreadsheet culture to Advanced Analytics it can go beyond simple spreadsheet analysis and BI reporting with a comprehensive analytical environment that identifies business opportunities, and provides metrics and measurements, predictive modeling and forecasting, and self-serve data preparation tools for business users. By understanding how and why team members employ spreadsheets, the enterprise can develop a strategy to move to a fact-based, secured environment with tools that users will want to adopt.
Augmented Analytics may sound complicated but the goal is to use all those complicated analytical techniques and algorithms as an underpinning for an advanced analytics solution that is suitable for the skills o an average business user. In other words, the system may be complicated, but the interface and process to gather and analyze information is easy!
Imagine you are trying to search for something in a store, but there is no one there to help you and all of the products are mixed up. You have to walk up and down every aisle, trying to find what you want and if you want to compare two things you will have to remember where you found that other product or drag it with you and then try to remember where to put it when you are ready to put it back. Not fun!
No business, large or small, can afford to employ the services of dozens of data scientists or professional analysts. Budgets are tight and there are so many places we need to spend our money to help the business success and grow.
The benefits of advanced data discovery do not have to be limited to data scientists or IT staff. If you choose the right data discovery tool, your business users can enjoy the benefits of confident business decisions, shared analytics and a common approach to, and understanding of, data-driven, fact-based metrics and results.
