Darwin calculation engine (DarCE)

Business enterprises are generating massive volumes of data every second. These rich data sources comprise insights and intelligence that are extremely valuable. When it comes to tailoring customer experiences by identifying needs, preferences and expectations, these insights and intelligence play a vital role.

All of this can be unlocked with the help of SAP Business Analytics. Let’s look at how your organisation can benefit from using this tool.

1. Personalize the Customer Experience

Data collation happens across every business vertical, touchpoint and channels active within the organisational ecosystem. These include all physical touchpoints, online channels and hybrid platforms.

Big data platforms like SAP helps to build comprehensive customer profiles by scanning the data that comes through multiple data sources. This helps the organisation to peek into customer psyches and determine customer behaviour. Such intelligence and insights are critical in order to provide custom designed experiences for customers.

With the help of data driven marketing, business enterprises can become more customer centric and gain a competitive advantage over their immediate industry peers.

2. Informed Business Decision-Making

Another key benefit of integrating a Unified Data Analytics Platform is to facilitate better decision making by the organisation. This is backed by data driven insights and intelligence that helps companies to rely on facts instead of intuition alone.

Add to this the force of new age technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and data mining that generate more accurate predictions relevant to the future of the organisation.

With business analytics, the company is essentially automating data that has accumulated for a period of time using technology. This helps to fast track conclusions without the risk of going through trial and error.

3. Streamline Operations

Being operationally efficient is another pain point for many business enterprises across the globe. But improving that is not impossible with platforms like SAP Business Analytics.

What organisations need to do is to collect and assess the data across all supply chain points that will help them pinpoint to exact areas in the business that are creating the gaps and bottlenecks. Taking this information into consideration, the business is able to estimate any future risks and implications arising out of these delays.

Moreover, a number of organisations struggle to maximise their operational efficiency because they are unable to adequately manage their inventory. Business analytics can play a vital role in this instance where organisations are able to determine optimal supply basis factors like market trends, seasonality and more.

4. Mitigate Risk and Handle Setbacks

Business enterprises have to manage all kinds of risks every day that they operate. This can range from customer complaints, thefts, safety and security, compliances, legal liabilities and much more.

Business analytics comes with predefined predictive models that help businesses understand the possible future risks and ensure they take adequate prevention against them.  

Organisations may also utilise big data platforms like SAP to minimise losses in the event of a setback. This can be achieved with the help of statistical models that automatically provide recommendations to solve the issue.

5. Enhances Security

Data security threats are looming large over businesses these days. Therefore, it becomes imperative to diagnose the causes of any data lapses in the past by processing and visualising the way to prevent them in the future.

Business analytics again plays a critical role here that gathers all relevant information, identifies the vulnerabilities in the system and helps the business to plug them effectively.
