Organizations that analyze a wide range of data are
differentiating themselves and creating competitive
advantage. Those that can do this fast and frequently
standout. HPE Data Discovery Solution enables organizations
such as yours to quickly explore data, prove its value, and
implement analytics across the enterprise—delivering
insights that empower your business.
Our point of view
Traditional business intelligence and
technologies of enterprise data warehouse
are unable to manage the volume, velocity,
and variety of Big Data. A proven approach
is needed that can create Big Data value.
Transformation is needed.
• A clear path to business insights
• Rapid deployment with limited and
predictable investments
• Securely designed environments and
data protection
Examples of success
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has
collaborated with numerous organizations
leveraging our data discovery program to
deliver analytics insights, including:
• An automotive manufacturer, to
develop a warranty analytics solution
focused on early defect detection;
this solution analyzes unstructured
data and provides an early warning
functionality—potentially saving millions
of dollars in vehicle recalls
• A large mass merchandise retailer, to
develop a store-level predictive model
to assess and manage core drivers of
retail shrink—enabling more efficient
and effective remediation strategies
to improve store profitability
• A large mining software and service
provider, to build a predictive
maintenance analytics solution for
equipment that combines historical
data, maintenance records, and real-time
sensor data to predict failures, avoid
unexpected operational downtime, and
improve efficiency as well as safety
Insight is the gateway to innovation
Research has shown that organizations that utilize data-driven decision-making are more
productive and profitable than competition. Key to this improvement is the ability to explore
large amounts of data rapidly—of multiple types and structures—through data discovery
analytics. The insights gained from these analytics can inform strategic, operational, and
tactical decision making across the enterprise, resulting in the ability to take advantage of
opportunities, minimize risks, control costs, and improve differentiation.
The potential of Big Data insights is huge
Some of the most successful companies consume extremely large data sets, combine this data
in unique and innovative ways, and create valuable insights for their businesses. These insights
are then used to predict and prevent customer churn, improve channel marketing campaigns,
perform customer behavior analysis, and optimize fraud detection. Others collect data from
the Internet of Things (IoT) and create analytic models to reduce product defects, optimize
supply chains, and increase manufacturing productivity. There are virtually endless analytic
use cases.
Challenges must be overcome
We typically see three significant challenges that you must overcome to derive large-scale
insights from data successfully. These are:
1.The lack of an enterprise analytics platform that is capable of supporting rapid data discovery
and complex analysis of large volumes of both structured and unstructured data
2.The lack of availability of industry-experienced data scientists with advanced analytic skills
using Big Data integration, database, as well as modeling and visualization software
3.A comprehensive methodology and process to operationalize analytics from the initial
data discovery to embedding predictive analytics into business operations, applications,
and machines
The realization of data discovery comes through a blend of skills, technology, and processes.
This journey formulates business use cases, prepares data, explores data, interprets data, and
communicates the results.
Many organizations, however, are understaffed when it comes to the analytic and IT skills
required for successful data discovery. They lack the expertise of data scientists with skills in
predictive modeling, statistical analysis, or data mining. In addition, there are gaps in IT abilities
to provision Big Data platforms and infrastructure for data acquisition, management, integration,
and data quality.
Additionally, effective data discovery requires a modern discovery platform coupled with an
infrastructure that makes the most sense for your organization (on-premise, cloud, or hybrid).
Often, traditional platforms are built around complex formal models, and that means these
platforms can take a long time to change, making IT a bottleneck in extracting insights from
your data.

Finally, with numerous analytic use cases to choose from, it is essential to prioritize the use
cases and business goals in a way that will yield the greatest impact during the discovery
process. This requires proven processes for identifying the best way forward options.

Experience the potential of Big Data analytics
Extracting business value from Big Data is a priority that may seem overwhelming. Legacy
IT environments and new sources of data—such as sensor and social media, plus security and
regulatory standards, and a variety of business and technology options—may obstruct your goals.
To help you in this journey, HPE Data Discovery Solution provides an end-to-end approach to
realizing the value of your data. Our solution includes experienced consultants, proven processes,
modern Big Data analytics platforms and infrastructure, and convenient delivery options.

Accelerate your journey
We can help your organization accelerate its analytical capabilities through our data discovery
program. We advocate that this begins with a discovery workshop to help you define and
prioritize analytic use cases, identify required data sources, design analytic hypothesis and
modeling approaches, and assess your organization’s execution abilities. The output of the
workshop is a detailed action plan that demonstrates the value that can be quickly derived from
your data. This is called HPE Big Data Discovery Experience.
Our discovery experience process provides facilitated, guided testing and exploration of
business use cases in a dedicated, secure Hewlett Packard Enterprise private cloud environment.
Through advanced analytics and interpretation, we jointly develop the analytics model, visualize
the findings, and implement the roadmap that includes data and security considerations.
With discovery production implementation, we embed your analytics into your business
processes, applications, and IT operations to operationalize the analytics. Our consultants and
data scientists use proven accelerators, methodologies, Big Data reference architectures, starter
templates, and proprietary tools to deliver business results for your organization.
Utilize a modern Big Data analytics platform and data lab
Transformational data discovery begins with a modern discovery platform that aligns to your
unique needs. We offer market-leading Big Data analytics platform options through HPE Haven
