Business Reasons for Analytics

Business Reasons for Analytics

It’s not what you know. It’s what you do with what you know. This is something organisations worldwide are increasingly learning when it comes to how they are approaching and working with data and analytics today.

Customer’s expectations have changed. Providing a good product is simply not enough for today’s businesses. The majority demand a fantastic and seamless experience from the delivery of products and services to how a Customer interacts with the brand. Customers are now dictating the rules and what is expected, and they have the ability to quickly choose new suppliers if they don’t get what they want.

Some of the key business influencers are already predicting that 2017 will mark an even more meaningful shift when it comes to utilising data in business. Data will drive business direction rather than simply reflecting performance. Most organizations today, now understand that if they capture all the data that streams into their businesses, they can apply analytics and garner significant value from it. The benefits that big data analytics is already bringing to businesses are speed and efficiency. Whereas a few years ago a business would have gathered information, run analytics and unearthed information that could be used for future decisions, today that business can identify insights for immediate decisions.

We are already witnessing that the real leaders are the organisations with the ability to respond to customers with personalized, contextually relevant offers and communications in real time, using insights not only based on their in-the-moment activity, but also past behaviours. They are reinventing and re-imaging customer journeys to increase client satisfaction, sales and service productivity, while automating processes to reduce operational costs and drive standardization. These organisations are identifying sub-optimal channel/cross-channel processes that lead to complaints/attrition and increased costs, while fixing them quickly. They are driving enhanced loyalty and customer engagement via improved focus on managing and measuring customer satisfaction and retention

Organisations today are under increasing competitive pressure not only to acquire customers, but also understand their customers’ needs and wants in order to optimize the customer experience and develop long term relationships. Customers are increasingly using multiple channels in their interactions with companies and both traditional and digital data sources must be brought together to understand customers’ behaviours and needs.

Effective data management and analytics can help organisations stay competitive when demand changes or new technology is developed.
