  11. Who We Are • A data analytics company founded with a mission of making profitable use of the millions of data points that our clients capture every day. • An experienced group with over 50 years of combined marketing, operations and data analytics expertise utilizing industry leading tools and techniques. • An accomplished team that has consistently helped clients, big and small, across multiple industries meet and exceed their goals by leveraging analytics and business operations expertise.

  12. What We Do Our expertise lies in our ability to uncover hidden patterns, trends and inconsistencies in data, from all sources, allowing us to build predictive models that can be used to improve profit and operational effectiveness across an organization. Utilizing Advanced Analytics Techniques: • Predictive Modeling • Customer Segmentation Analysis • Customer Profiling • Cluster Analysis • Pricing Optimization • Multivariate Test Design • Lifetime Value Analysis • Prospect Lead Scoring • Lead Valuation • Cross-sell/Up-sell Optimization

  13. How We Help We are experts at helping organizations seize opportunities and achieve their potential by applying our proven tools and techniques to answer everyday business questions, like: • How can I sell more products? • Which discharged patients are most likely to return? • To whom, how and when should I communicate my marketing messages? • Which transactions are possibly fraudulent? • How can I reduce customer attrition? • What anomalies exist in an insurance/warranty claim? • How do I maximize my return on marketing investment? • How could I improve my operational efficiencies? • What price point will maximize profitability?

  14. How We Are Different There are many analytics companies out there with smart analysts running the latest and greatest tools. Our difference lies in our marketing and business management experience. We don’t simply generate the best-fit model and turn it over with a stack of charts and graphs. We leverage the insights gleaned in the data, while working with your team, to develop actionable strategies that will maximize your profitability. Most often the optimal solution lies in a coupling of the quantitative, which is discovered in the data, with the qualitative, which is learned through years of marketing and operations experience.

  16. Enough about us, let’s talk Big Data…

  17. Cheap Storage = More Data • In 1987, a 10MB full height hard drive sold for about $800. At that rate, storing the 4 Zettabytes of data accumulated to date would cover the entire state of Texas to a depth of 8 feet at a cost of $360 million-billion, or roughly 5,000 times the GDP of the entire world. • Fortunately, technology has driven the cost of data storage down so low that the same volume of data could be housed easily in the Yum! Center for a mere $208 billion. • Today you could personally store every song ever recorded on your home PC for about $800. • By 2020, the amount of data collected is expected to grow 9-fold to 35 Zettabytes. • With storage media under a nickel per gigabyte, it’s now cheaper to simply capture and store everything forever.

  18. More Data = More Insight • Data analytics opportunities abound as companies move past the “What Happened?” mode of reporting to the “What Will Happen Next?” perspective made possible with predictive analytics. • Because “the data is the data”, proper analytics provides unbiased insight into the questions traditionally debated on gut feel, instinct, and anecdotal evidence. • Federal, state, and local governments are now commonly publishing public-sector data (Louiestat.gov, Data.gov). • User-generated data is allowing for real-time analytics and decision making (Waze, TSA wait times, theme park line waits).

  19. Traditional Data Modeling • For the past decade, our traditional engagements involved querying multiple database tables via SQL, extracting and joining the datasets, splitting data into training and validation sets, and building predictive models. • Tools used include SQL to extract data and SPSS Modeler, SAS, Octave, and R to build predictive algorithms. Analysis is generally reported in Tableau when applicable. • Techniques are primarily linear and logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors, principal component analysis, etc. with a goal of solving for some desired outcome (likelihood to purchase, best customer profile, attrition risk, underwriting exposure, etc.).

  20. Big Data Modeling • Our recent activity is geared toward supervised machine learning on both structured (SQL) and unstructured (noSQL) data in a distributed data store (Hadoop, Hbase, Dynamo, MongoDB). • Tools include the previously mentioned plus Mahout, Knime, and Python to support MapReduce functionality. • Techniques still include linear and logistic regression with the addition of high-dimension classification techniques such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes, and Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH). • Binary and multinomial classification models seem to dominate (fraud/no fraud, expect readmit/don’t expect readmit, etc.).

  21. Discussion • Create and commit to a “data-centric” business philosophy, regardless of the size of your company. Competitive advantages will be huge for those that capture and effectively use data. • Don’t let “perfection be the enemy of the better.” Better to build on small successes vs. suffer from “analysis-paralysis.” • Data scientists will be in short supply as companies build infrastructure to support their data initiatives, so don’t be afraid to use strategic partners. • While more and more tools are evolving in the open source arena, proper implementation will remain a challenge.

  26. Healthcare Market Conditions Healthcare is one of the most dynamic and challenging industries in the U.S. today … And yet healthcare technology lags behind other industries by years if not decades. TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS Lack of interoperability, 5010, ICD-10 ECONOMICS New Payment Models, Bundled Payments, Performance-based CONSUMERISM Patient Engagement, Transparency, Patient-to-Provider Communications DEMOGRAPHICS Aging Demographics, Population Health Needs REGULATIONS HIPAA, Health Reform, Meaningful Use

  27. Gartner’s definition of “Big Data” What is Big Data? “Big Data” is high-volume, -velocity and –variety information assets that demand cost-effective, innovative forms of information processing for enhanced insight and decision making. The particular use of data in healthcare necessitates expansion of the definition… Healthcare information assets must be continually verified and evaluated for truth and tested for use cases and protected against any unintended or incidental disclosure.

  28. V foundations of Big Data

  29. Volume • 2,500,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of data created in 2012 • 90% of the World’s data is merely 2 years old • Big Data is invading virtually every business sector • Data scientists are the most in demand job over the next 5 years • A single patient stay generates thousands of data elements, including diagnoses, procedures, medications, medial supplies, lab results and billing. • All data must be validated, processed and integrated • Then look at hundreds or thousands of patients

  30. Visualizing an Internet Minute

  31. Demand for Big Data

  32. Velocity • Velocity of data is more than speed. • Velocity means how fast the data is being produced • It is about the rate of changes, about linking data sets that are updating at different speeds and about bursts of activities. • The ability to process data when an event changes or activate new data upon a change in a data event. • Traditional data warehouse analytics tend to be periodic – daily, weekly, monthly or even quarterly • Clinical decisions require up-to-date information. • Current data is needed to support automated decision-making.

  33. Variety • Big Data is about the ability to aggregate many types of data, both structured and unstructured, such as: • Multimedia • Social Media • Blogs • Web Server logs • Financial transactions • Tracking information • Audio/video streams • Web content • E mail • Dictation (audio & text) • Claim data • Clinical data • Pharma data • Monitoring and meter-collected systems

  34. Platform Variety

  35. Veracity • Data is pure, true and correct • Data can be corrupted • Troubles arise when sources of data and the actual data is not understood and evaluated • Moving to a data driven organization creates new risks of acting on corrupt or misinterpreting data • Veracity leads to increasing data intelligence

  36. Degree of Data Intelligence

  37. Vulnerability • Big Data will turn privacy upside down. • Valuable patient data is toxic if breached • AMA tiered penalties for even an incidental breach range from $100 to $1.5 million • Data use and sourcing maps should be included with every data dictionary • Don’t be scared of the stuff you don’t know, be scared of the stuff that is logical

  38. Vulnerability – Data Loss

  39. Recommendations • Build a Data Science Team • Big Data = Technology • Create a data strategy based on the organizations technical and business maturity • Create a list of quick, big data wins and execute those successes quickly • Visualization
