What is So Important About Augmented Data Discovery?

Can Augmented Data Discovery Make a Difference in My Organization?
There are so many new terms in the business intelligence and advanced analytics domain. So, what is augmented data discovery, and why is it important for your enterprise? Augmented Data Discovery (aka Smart Data Discovery), takes the enterprise beyond data monitoring and helps users discover the more subtle yet crucial factors that affect business success. It identifies hidden issues and patterns within the data so the organization can address challenges, capitalize on competitive and market advantages and plan for the future with more confidence. There are a couple of components to the augmented data discovery continuum.


First, there is Augmented Data Preparation This process helps users access data integrated from varied data repositories and sources in a single interface, so they can test theories and hypotheses. These tools give users access to crucial data and Information and connect to data sources, including personal, external, Cloud, and IT provisioned data, to mash-up and integrate data. The right augmented data discovery solution provides tools like auto-suggested relationships, JOINs, type casts, hierarchies and clean, reduce and clarify data with integrated statistical algorithms like binning, clustering and regression for noise reduction and identification of trends and patterns.

The second component of Augmented Data Discovery is Augmented Analytics. This process automates data insight by utilizing Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing and automates data preparation so users can share crucial data and make decisions. With an advanced augmented data discovery solution, the organization can share, manipulate and present data with clear results and access to sophisticated tools. These tools ensure that the organization makes decisions based on fact rather than opinion.

If you want to know what makes augmented data discovery so important, it is quite simple, actually. With Augmented Data Discovery, the organization can notate and highlight data, share data with other users and most importantly, the enterprise can identify critical ‘ah hah’ data points and information hidden within the data to accurately plan, forecast and solve problems. These tools provide support, suggesting relationships, identifying patterns, suggesting visualization techniques and formats, highlighting trends and patterns and helping users and organizations to forecast and predict results. This enables the enterprise to manage data overload and overwhelming workload, and to provide important information and answers to every team member with sophisticated tools in an easy-to-use, drag and drop interface, which requires no advanced skill or knowledge of statistical analysis, algorithms or techniques.

Why Do You Need Self-Serve Data Preparation?

Self-Serve Data Preparation Takes the Headache Out of Data Analytics! Self-Serve Data Preparation (aka augmented data preparation) is all about efficiency and the presentation of sophisticated data preparation tools in an easy-to-use environment. The idea behind self-service data preparation is to give the average business user the ability to prepare, use, report on and share data without the assistance of IT staff or analysts, thereby making their jobs easier and making every team member more of an asset to the organization. Business users love  Self-Serve Data Preparation  because they can control data elements, and the volume and timing, perform data preparation and test theories and hypotheses by prototyping on their own. No one likes to be restricted to complex tools or forced to wait for programmers or data scientists. Give your business users access to crucial data and connect them to data sources so they can mash up and integrate data in a single, one-st...

Evaluating Enterprise Data Literacy

 Any organization that aims toward complete digital transformation must move toward Enterprise Data Literacy. So, what exactly is Data Literacy? Gartner defines Data Literacy as: “The ability to read, write and communicate data in context, including an understanding of data sources and constructs, analytical methods and techniques applied – and the ability to describe the use case, application and resulting value.” According to the Gartner Annual Chief Data Officer (CDO) Survey, an absence of Data Literacy is the primary reason behind CDOs’ inadequate performance. To combat this, more and more enterprises are engaging in “competency development in the field of Data Literacy.” In a digital culture, the goal is to make data accessible and available to all employees – not just to data scientists, analysts, or CDOs. Right now, most business executives realize that all employees need to “communicate in a common data language,” but data regulations, and privacy and security policies are ...

BI for Customer Relationship Management

Can Business Intelligence for CRM Help Attract and Retain Customers? Customer service and customer satisfaction are the backbone of customer relationships. In an effort to ensure customer satisfaction and retention, businesses spend a lot of time trying to understand buying behavior, customer expectations for product support, website support and product and service variety, as well as gaps in product and service offerings. If an organization can accurately monitor and measure customer service factors and customer satisfaction, it is easier to resolve issues and capitalize on opportunities and to anticipate customer needs and fill market gaps. The goal is always to attract new customers, retain existing customers and obtain those all important client references. Business Intelligence for CRM  is crucial to business success.
