3. Low (growing) experience with digital data
1. BI-centric analytic methods & practices

13. Advanced Data Visualization (ADV)
“Enterprises find advanced data visualization
(ADV) platforms to be essential tools that enable
them to monitor business, find patterns, and
take action to avoid threats and snatch
opportunities.”
14. Why Is ADV Critical?
Firms need to use data visualization because
information workers:
1. Cannot see a patternwithout data visualization
2. Cannot fit all of the necessary data points onto a single
screen
3. Cannot effectively show deep and broad data sets on a
single screen
15. How Has Data Visualization Changed?
1. Dynamic data content
2. Visual querying
3. Multiple-dimension, linked visualization
4. Animation
5. User personalization
6. Business-actionable alerts
20. Where Do We Begin?
“There is no better place to start than data, since it is
the fuel needed to make insightful decisionsthat can
drive your business forward.”

21. Big Data Challenges
Many organizations are concerned that the amount of amassed
data is becoming so large that it is difficult to find the most
valuable pieces of information
1. What if your data volume gets so large and varied you don't
know how to deal with it?
2. Do you store all your data?
3. Do you analyze it all?
4. How can you find out which data points are really
important?
5. How can you use it to your best advantage?
22. One Possible Consideration…
Marketers increasingly want
to merge their own
customer data with that of
third parties to better
segment audiences. That's
why the Data Management
Platform (DMP)has been a
hot segment…
23. DMPs – Current State
1. Today’s leading DMPs are ingesting a wide range of
owned and licensed data streams for insights and
segmentation and are pushing data into a growing
number of external targeting platforms, helping
marketers deliver more relevant and consistent
marketing communications.
2. DMPs still need to build out mobile tracking and
targeting
3. DMPs still need to tighten integrations with existing
marketing automation platforms and offline systems.
24. Another Consideration: “DIY”
A number of recent technology advancements are enabling
organizations to make the most of big data and big data
analytics:
1. Cheap, abundant storage and server processing capacity.
2. Fasterprocessors.
3. Affordable large-memory capabilities, such as Hadoop.
4. New storage and processing technologies designed
specifically for large data volumes, including unstructured
data.
5. Parallel processing, clustering, MPP, virtualization, large grid
environments, high connectivity and high throughputs.
6. Cloud computing and other flexible resource allocation
arrangements.
26. Data Management & Analytics
“Being able to derive insights from data is the key to
making smarter, fact-based decisions that will
translate into profitable revenue growth.”

about to churn and how to keep them?”
