WHAT DO OTHERS DATA MEASUREMENT IS THE MODERN EQUIVALENT OF
THINK? THE MICROSCOPE*
28 year Asst. professor at Stanford combined math
with political science in his undergraduate and
graduate studies, seeing “an opportunity because the
discipline is becoming increasingly data-intensive.”
His research involves the computer-automated analysis
of blog postings, Congressional speeches and press
releases, and news articles, looking for insights into
how political ideas spread.
It’s not just more streams of data, but entirely new
ones- countless digital sensors worldwide in industrial
equipment, automobiles, electrical meters and shipping
crates- measure and communicate location, movement,
vibration, temperature, humidity, even chemical
changes in the air..

At the World Economic Forum last month in
Davos, Switzerland, Big Data was a marquee
topic. A report by the forum, “Big Data, Big
Impact,” declared data a new class of economic
asset, like currency or gold.

ADVANCED ANALYTICS AND FAST COMPUTING CAPABILITIES ARE
PERFORMANCE BROUGHT TOGETHER WITH SAS HPA
ANALYTICS
•
In a recent National Post interview with Jim Goodnight, the SAS CEO
explains it like this:
There's a lot of business processes that will be changing because of the speed at
which we can do analytics; using a thousand processes in parallel to do these
computations can make it possible to do huge problems that we would never have
been able to do before because it would take too long on a single processor.
•
A big part of how HPA gets its speed: it breaks larger problems down into
smaller pieces.

THE FARFALLE
THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF ANALYTIC FUNCTION
MODEL
Source: IDC, 2012
• 70% of the effort in analytics is typically on the information management side of the model.
• Analytical teams in the middle are small but crucial for translating the data assets into actionable
insights.
• The organization change side highlights the attributes of behavior changes needed by business
users.

TOP FIVE WAYS HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS WILL
TRANSFORM MARKETING
•
Faster, more sophisticated, effective segmentation
•
•
Real-time, relevant next-best customer actions or offers
•
•
companies to quickly and efficiently update their numerous models without submitting a slow overnight batch
update process.
1:1 real-time experiences to bolster brand connections
•
•
This results in a more relevant offer or customer interaction surfacing at the “point of need” in real-time
Instant deployment and management of marketing models that give you a sustainable
advantage
•
•
segmentation tests can be run against the entire populations in order to determine the best campaign interaction
methods
The outcome is more precise, real-time interactions with consumers at the “point of need.”
Optimized marketing for broader business impact
•
Now businesses can not only determine the customer and financial impacts of their campaigns faster but also
adapt instantaneously to market, competitive and customer changes.
