What Is Big Data Analytics

Big data analytics is that the use of advanced analytic techniques against very
large, diverse data sets that include structured, semi-structured and unstructured
data, from different sources, and in numerous sizes from terabytes to zettabytes.

Big data may be a term applied to data sets whose size or type is beyond the
flexibility of traditional relational databases to capture, manage and process the
information with low latency. Big data has one or more of the
subsequent characteristics: high volume, high velocity or high variety. computer
science (AI), mobile, social and therefore the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving data
complexity through new forms and sources of information. for instance, big data
comes from sensors, devices, video/audio, networks, log files, transactional
applications, web, and social media (much of it generated in real time and at a
awfully large scale).

Analysis of massive data allows analysts, researchers and business users to

form better and faster decisions using data that was previously inaccessible or
unusable. Businesses can use advanced analytics techniques like text analytics,
machine learning, predictive analytics, data processing, statistics
and language processing to realize new insights from previously untapped data
sources independently or along with existing enterprise data.

Role of massive Data Analytics in ERP System

A large amount of information is being generated each day from the

highest sources like web channels, IoT, companies’ servers, media etc. ERP
software solutions gather plenty of enterprise data comprising HR, finance, CRM and
other essential business functions of a business. Big data analytics tools and ERP
system when brought together have the potential to unfold valuable insights which
will help businesses make smarter decisions. In fact, big data analytics in ERP has a
vital role to play in enhancing ERP capabilities and obtain most out of the ERP
system.

Moreover, it helps add up out of unused information and also accelerates the

entire decision-making process. the entire integration is a vital step to travel forward
and lead during this competitive cut-throat business environment. Because
making the proper decisions quickly is extremely essential to survive during
this competitive business market furthermore as smooth business functioning.

Many ERP systems fail to form use of real-time inventory and provide chains

data. This happens mainly because these systems lack the intelligence to
form predictions about products demands. during this situation, big data tools can
predict demand and help to see what your company must go.
 ERP systems manage all the business data and provides useful insights into
the demand and provide equation. However, Big Data analytics
can transcend. they'll forecast better about the strain and future needs. Not only data
analytics tools help to see the present consumer demands and behaviors but also
predict how a product goes to perform within the future. This insight can only be seen
by integrating both Big Data analytics and Enterprise Resource Planning
systems within the business.

Big data analytics in ERP applications can provide faster information delivery
and reliable forecasting using tools like Hadoop. Hadoop may be a free distributed
processing framework and is understood to be the most effective tool for analyzing
big data. To conclude, Big Data and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) combo is
currently being adopted to induce the foremost of the ERP data to form business
decisions better and efficient.

Big Data Analytic Tools

Tableau Public

What is Tableau Public:

It's an easy and intuitive tool. because it offers intriguing insights through data

visualization. Tableau Public’s million-row limit. As it’s easy to use fares better than
most of the opposite players within the data analytics market. With Tableau’s
visuals, you'll be able to investigate a hypothesis. Also, explore the information, and
cross-check your insights.

Uses of Tableau Public:

• You can publish interactive data visualizations to the net at no cost.

• No programming skills required.

Visualizations published to Tableau Public may be embedded into blogs. Also, web

content and be shared through email or social media. The shared content may
be made available for downloads. This makes it the most effective Big Data Analytics
tools.

The Importance of big Data Analytics

 Cost reduction.

Big data technologies like Hadoop and cloud-based analytics bring significant cost
advantages when it involves storing large amounts of information – plus they'll
identify more efficient ways of doing business.

 Faster, better deciding.

With the speed of Hadoop and in-memory analytics, combined with the ability to
research new sources of information, businesses are able to analyze information
immediately – and make decisions supported what they’ve learned.

 New products and services.

With the ability to live customer needs and satisfaction through analytics comes the

power to permit customers what they have. Davenport pints out that with big data
analytics, more companies are creating new products to meet customers’ needs.

4 Types of Big Data Analytics

Descriptive Analytics

This technique is that the most time-intensive and infrequently produces the smallest

amount value; however, it's useful for uncovering patterns within a
particular segment of consumers. Descriptive analytics provide insight into what is
going on historically and can provide you with trends to poke into in
additional detail. samples of descriptive analytics include summary statistics,
clustering and association rules employed in market basket analysis. Key points:

• Backward looking
• Focused on descriptions and comparisons
• Pattern detection and descriptions
• MECE (mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive) categorization
• Category development supported similarities and differences (segmentation)

Diagnostic Analytics

Data scientists intercommunicate this system when trying to see why something

happened. it's useful when researching leading churn indicators and usage trends
amongst your most loyal customers. samples of diagnostic analytics include churn
reason analysis and customer health score analysis. Key points:

• Backward looking
• Focused on causal relationships and sequences
• Relative ranking of dimensions/variable supported inferred explanatory power)
• Target/dependent variable with independent variables/dimensions
• Includes both frequentist and Bayesian causal inferential analyses

Predictive Analytics

The most commonly used technique; predictive analytics use models to forecast
what might happen in specific scenarios. samples of predictive analytics include next
best offers, churn risk and renewal risk analysis.

• Forward looking
• Focused on non-discrete predictions of future states, relationship, and patterns
• Description of prediction result set probability distributions and likelihoods
• Model application
• Non-discrete forecasting (forecasts communicated in probability distributions)

Prescriptive Analytics

The most valuable and most underused big data analytics technique, prescriptive
analytics gives you a laser-like focus to answer a particular question. It helps to
see the simplest solution among a range of choices, given the known parameters
and suggests options for the way to require advantage of a future opportunity or
mitigate a future risk. It also can illustrate the implications of every decision to
enhance decision-making. samples of prescriptive analytics for customer retention
include next best action and next best offer analysis.

• Forward looking
• Focused on optimal decisions for future situations
• Simple rules to complex models that are applied on an automatic or programmatic
basis
• Discrete prediction of individual data set members supported similarities and
differences
• Optimization and decision rules for future events
