Defining an Enterprise-Wide Business Performance Management Architecture 2007-01-24 01:00:28 Hyperion

From the perspective of today's business users, there is a growing demand for a single system that will address all of their business performance management requirements. Adding to the complexity, most organizations cannot afford to replace their existing infrastructure and therefore require solutions that work in conjunction with as many existing systems as possible. These requirements drive a new class of product with a unified Business Performance Management (BPM) architecture.

Data Warehousing 101 2006-08-30 01:00:13 SAS Institute

As most financial professionals know, a data warehouse isn't a building. It's the process of pulling together and organizing vast amounts of data from inside and outside a company, then applying tools to effectively analyze and view the data as current information on which one can take action. The result is better, immediate, and previously unavailable information about business trends, customer activity, market movements, performance analysis, and other key metrics. The fact is, many businesses have invested significantly in technology and automation. But few have successfully harnessed the data within these systems and transformed it into value-based information that can be used as a competitive weapon and business driver.

Data in the Time of Cholera 2006-08-30 01:00:13 SAS Institute

Data warehousing projects usually are difficult and expensive efforts that tend to lose direction because they challenge both business and IT managers with a new and different way of viewing information. Whereas both communities have successfully used computers for the past 50 years to help understand what happens in the day-to-day operations of their business, now they are trying to use computers and large amounts of data to help understand why things happen in their business. Fortunately, historical precedent can be helpful in understanding the issues involved. In essence, data warehousing is an observational science.

Performance Management - Making It Work, Part 4: Data Mining to Support Performance Management With Analytical Intelligence 2006-08-10 01:00:12 SAS Institute

This paper describes how information technologies, namely data warehousing; data mining with their powerful Extraction, Transform, and Load (ETL) features, and business analytics (e.g., statistics, forecasting, and optimization) all produce data from diverse source platforms transparent. That is, these technologies convert raw data into intelligence - the power to know. In almost all industries and commercial sectors today, information is key to becoming competitive. But before discussing how technology will create value, the paper first discusses some confusing issues related to value.

Who Needs Customers, Anyway? 2006-08-10 01:00:12 SAS Institute

Today, there is a clear and integrated connection from the uppermost company measurement categories, to the metrics for the individual financial advisors. The marketing campaigns can be aligned with specific target groups. Moreover, the behavior of customers is analyzed by means of data mining which generates suggestions for up-selling and cross-selling. In doing so, those customers that are more likely to accept a certain offer are selected. All these evaluations and analyses are based upon a CRM Data Mart, in which all historical customer-related data is stored and readily available.

Getting Started With Operations Analytics 2006-08-10 01:00:12 Investcorp

Even sophisticated organizations are sometimes unsure how to proceed with analytic applications. This paper uses a case study to define an analytic application and characterize the problems analytic applications are good at solving. It then shows how analytics can deliver value to the operations function. As organizations mature in their use of Data Warehousing/Business Intelligence (DW/BI) solutions, many see the use of analytic applications as a logical next step. Success stories, such as credit scoring and fraud detection in the credit card industry, are well publicized and make analytic applications sound wonderful. Yet many organizations, even those that are quite sophisticated in their use of DW/BI technologies, are unsure how to proceed with analytic applications.

The Truth Will Keep You Free: Analytics, BI, and Compliance 2006-08-10 01:00:12 SAS Institute

Risk valuation is required by financial accountability regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and Basel II. To comply, companies must document operational risks. To scope compliance efforts, they must determine a corporate risk threshold. And finally, there's the risk of jail time if a person fudge the calculations. Compliance is a risky business, even if the business isn't risky. Of course, risk is nothing new to corporate executives. It's the static electricity on the doorknob of opportunity: drag the feet, and it will zap. Thus, with or without the impetus of legislation, most companies perform some degree of business analytics, and larger enterprises employ increasingly sophisticated Business Intelligence (BI) systems to identify and avoid costly contingencies.
