Augmented Analytics: The Advanced Analytics Solution to Ensure User Adoption!
The concept of advanced analytics can seem out of reach for many businesses. Business execs and managers often picture a team of data scientists and IT staff busily analyzing data and, included in that picture, they imagine the bags full of cash required to fund that team of professionals.
Advanced Analytics for Business Users is Key to Business Success!
Most businesses are choosing advanced analytics for business users and there is a good reason for that! Even the largest businesses rarely have an unlimited budget for data scientists and the trend toward data democratization has revealed the value in enabling business users with a data and analytics platform that is easy and mobile and can provide clear, concise results for planning, issue resolution and management of results at every level within the organization.
Natural Language Processing Makes Advanced Analytics Accessible to Every User!
Whether you know it or not, you are familiar with Natural Language Processing. Applications of NLP include search techniques used in Google and other popular tools. The use of natural language processing in self-serve advanced analytics solutions can mean the difference between a simple, yet sophisticated, business user tool and a tool that is only suitable for a data scientist or professional analyst.
Citizen Data Scientists are Not Born, They are Created!
Data analytics software used to be reserved for data scientists, analysts and IT staff but not today! Talk to any business colleague or pick up any technology analyst article and you will find plenty of discussion about the current use of data analytics tools and impressive predictions about the growth of this market. There is a reason for that popularity and growth! Businesses have discovered the value of business analytics and the benefit of taking the guesswork out of planning, problem solving and decision-making.
Search Analytics with Natural Language Processing Makes Advanced Analytics Easy!
Whether you are a consumer or a business user, today’s technology users are savvy and they are used to having easy-to-use tools and features that make them more productive and allow them to quickly complete tasks. The same holds true for users of advanced analytics users. These users are also consumers when they are off the job and they are used to simple search technology like Google and other search methodologies that allow them to think, search and get results in a way that is fitting for normal speech and language.
Predictive Analytics Techniques That Are Easy Enough for Business Users!
There are a myriad of predictive analytics techniques and predictive modeling algorithms and you can’t expect your business users to understand and use them. If you are taking on an advanced analytics initiative and you want to leverage data democratization to cascade data analytics and data literacy throughout the organization, you will need a data modeling solution that takes the guesswork out of the process.
The Importance of Data Visualization Cannot be Overstated!
Data visualization may not seem important, but the way you see data can provide additional insight or it can muddle the picture to the point where you will miss critical issues or opportunities. The importance of data visualization is even more evident when that data is being analyzed by business users who are not likely to see data in an analytical way and probably do not have the knowledge or skill required to change visualization techniques to accommodate a particular type of data.
Data Science and Predictive Analytics Made Simple!
Imagine a world where data science and predictive analytics tools are created for business users! That world exists today with the evolution of sophisticated, yet easy-to-use tools that include predictive analytics for business users, visual analytics software and tools, and self-serve data preparation.
Augmented Analytics Tools and Data Prep Tools Make Life Easy for Business Users!
In today’s world, advanced analytics is for everyone. There is no reason to limit access to data preparation software or advanced predictive analytics to data scientists, analysts and IT staff. The evolution of augmented analytics and intelligence augmentation has created some impressive tools and solutions that allow business users with average skills to use self-serve data prep and complete data preparation using auto-recommendations and suggestions to work through the process easily and with no confusion.
