Big Data Analytics – Unlock Breakthrough Results: (Step 5)

by

In this step we develop one of the most important interim products for our decision model; the analytic user profile. A profile is a way of classifying and grouping what the user community is actually doing with the analytic information and services produced. We develop a quantified view of our user community so we can evaluate each platform or tool for optimization quickly and produce meaningful results aligned with usage patterns.

Continuing the series on Nine Easy Steps to Unlock Breakthrough Results, we now assign relative weights to each of the critical capabilities groups for each operating model uncovered earlier. This is done to assign the higher weightings to capability groupings most important to the success of each model. Having the quantified index means we can evaluate each platform or tool for optimization within quickly and produce meaningful results.
