Information management and machine learning are more closely connected that ever before.  With today’s data sprawl and complex changes in the variety, volumes, and types of data, most companies need a dizzying array of tools to extract value from increasing volumes of multifaceted data.    While machine learning and AI promise to deliver a wealth of new, meaningful business insights, the data requirements and complexity involved in deploying and operating AI is daunting.

So, the question is – you know you have lots of data, how do you mange the complex data integration and data management requirements for multifacted data?  How can gain insight by somehow applying machine learning to that data? How to you begin to find the right business case to help you know where to start?

One of the best places to start is with the interactive Business Case Discovery Tool for SAP Data Intelligence.



In this interactive tool you explore the business cases, how SAP Data Intelligence works, and how it can work for you.

The tool is divided into multiple sections.  The sections explain the challenges of extracting real value from data and the importance of making data work for you.



 

It also provides an introduction of SAP Data Intelligence and how you can get started with the solution.



 

Each business case includes the description of the business case, the challenges, the solution, benefits, and a dig deeper section where you can go to learn more.  Each business case has been implemented by a SAP customer as either a proof-of-concept or live implementation.

We have multiple business cases across various industries and periodically we add more.

One example is customer churn.   It provides a description, the challenges, solutions, benefits and dig deeper.  Below you can see the challenges for the customer churn case where they had siloed data that was uncleansed and not connected.



With SAP Data Intelligence they used data pipelines to orchestrate that data so that machine learning could be applied to understand what causes churn and to predict churn.
