• Digital technologies are
driving this change
• Customers no longer enter
a channel but are
continuously in the channel
• Transactional, dynamic,
experimental
• UNPREDICTABLE
Analytics are Getting More Complex
• The data is first translated using a tool like
Informatica and then stored in a Data Warehouse.
• The contextual relationship is NOT defined, and
the transactions are NOT established.
• Financial reporting is stable & predictable.• Does not require access to real time data.
• This process works well.
Sophisticated data and modeling
tools are used to create models,
infer context and create enhanced
data sets.
The Data Warehouse stores
massive amounts of different
data – but it’s not storing
contextual, transactional data.
