Data science
Analyzing and processing data means applying predictive analytics to get the most out of the information your organization has. This is not a complete product, but a collection of interdisciplinary tools and methods that combine statistics, informatics and modern technologies that help turn data into strategically important information.
Trends that are making data science/data analysis a promising field
Benefits of using data science/data analysis in various industries
Energetics
A utility company can optimize the smart grid to minimize energy consumption according to real-time usage data and cost structure.
Retail
A retailer can use analytics and data manipulation on point of sale information to predict future purchases and better match product mix.
Automotive industry
Automakers are actively using data analysis and processing to collect real-time vehicle traffic information and develop autonomous systems through machine learning.
Various industries
Industrial plants use analysis and data processing to minimize waste and increase equipment uptime.It is data analysis and processing, as well as artificial intelligence, that have become the foundation for advances in text analysis, image recognition and natural language processing that are driving innovation in a wide variety of industries.
Most companies today are overloaded with data and are probably not fully exploiting their potential. This is where data analysis can help to transform information into meaningful strategic insights and real competitive advantage.
By using data analysis, your organization can make decisions and act with confidence because you rely on facts and scientific method rather than guesswork and intuition.
Analyzing and processing data can dramatically increase productivity in almost any area of your business through the following capabilities:
-
optimization of the supply chain;
-
reduced staff turnover;
-
understanding and meeting customer needs;
-
accurate forecasting of business performance;
-
control and improvement of the appearance and characteristics of products.
The analysis and processing of data is becoming more and more automated, and this process will continue. For example, today a technician can set up an automatic grid search of all possible combinations of thousands of data parameters to find the best solution to a specific problem in real time.
In the past, statisticians had to manually design and tune predictive models, drawing on their experience but being creative at the same time. But today, as the volume of data and the complexity of business problems has increased, the task has become so mathematically complex that it requires resorting to artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation to solve it. As big data gets bigger, this trend will only intensify.
