10. Supply-side challenges: Proving business case, data veracity
•CXO level commitment lacking -Analytics remains a priority to select teams/individuals
•In many Indian organisations, there is a lack of understanding of analytics and its potential benefits
•Customers focus on short term resultsvis-à-vis long term growth goals –more “output” focused than “outcome” focused
•Data collection capabilities are not robust or standardised in many Indian firms; silo-eddata available, and these don’t talk to each other; no consolidated view
•Reluctance to changeexisting internal IT structure or some of the existing organisational systems
•Difficult in finding resources with knowledge of statistics and analytical tools plus domain knowledge, business analysis skills and program management skills
•Internal analytics teams of customers not exposed to business side –leading to lack to understanding of requirements at both ends

Key challenges for analytics deployment
•While many of the challenges were reported by both the users and non-users, there were some clear differences.
•For non-users budget constraints came out as the number one reason closely followed by “unsure how analytics can benefit the organization”

13. Indian firms recognise the relevance of leveraging analytics; but need to need to “industrialise” analytics
13
•In order to derive value from analytics, organizations need to “industrialize” analytics
•Industrialization of analytics implies analytics programs that are tightly tied to business outcomes, delivered via engagement models that disaggregate the analytics process chain, hive out the repeatable and standard processes to centralized process teams, and use standardize tools & approaches
•Very few respondents in our study indicated that analytics is “not important”.

Clear need for showcasing business value:

Phase 1: Discover
Phase 2: Establish
Phase 3: Industrialise
Hand-hold across the analytics value chain:
•Integrate multiple data sources, optimise data utilisation, data security, maintenance
•Lower total cost of ownership
As analytics gets further embedded into firms’ business culture:
•Greater demand for functionality across business value chain
•After sales services –to emerge as a key differentiator
