WHAT IS BIG DATA?

Big data is not a single technology but a combination of old and new technologies that helps companies gain

actionable insights. Therefore, big data is the capability to manage a huge volume of disparate data, at the right

speed, and within the right time frame to allow real-time analysis and reaction. It is broken down by the

following characteristics or the 4Vs

Volume – How Much Data

Velocity – How fast that data is processed

Variety – The various types of data

Veracity – How accurate the data is in predicting the business value? Do the results of a big data

analysis make sense?

So “Big Data” can be defined as large amounts of different types of data produced with high velocity from a

high number of various types of resources. Handling today’s highly variable and real-time datasets requires

new tools and methods, such as powerful processors, software and algorithms.

Webopedia defines Big Data as "a massive volume of both unstructured and structured data so large that it's difficult to process using traditional database and software techniques." The "unstructured" part of that definition encompasses things like email, video, tweets and Facebook "likes" -- data that doesn't reside in a database that's accessible to merchants, but is nonetheless very useful.

Structured data, on the other hand, generally refers to databases where specific information is stored based on a methodology of columns and rows. For e-commerce merchants, this could be customer data like name, address and ZIP code.”

HOW MUCH DATA IS PRODUCED Every day?

Every day hundreds of millions of people take photos, make videos and send texts. Across the globe businesses collect data on consumer preferences, purchases and trends. Governments regularly collect all sorts of data from census data to incident reports in police departments. This deluge of data is growing fast. The total amount of data in the world was 4.4 zettabytes in 2013. That is set to rise steeply to 44 zettabytes by 2020. To put that in perspective, one zettabyte is equivalent to 44 trillion gigabytes. This sharp rise in data will be driven by the rapidly growing daily production of data. But how much data is produced every day today?

WHAT IS BIG DATA ANALYSIS?

The first question that needs to be understood is what problem is being solved by Big Data Analysis? There are

numerous data points available that can give valuable insights from and certainly patterns can emerge from

that data before you understand why they are there. The Analytics can be classified into

Basic Analytics - Basic analytics can be used to explore your data, if you’re not sure what you have, but you think something is of value. This might include simple visualizations or simple statistics. The basic analysis is often used when you have large amounts of disparate data. Here are some examples: Slicing & Dicing: refers to breaking down your data into smaller sets of data that are easier to explore. For example, you might have a scientific data set of water column data from many different locations that contain numerous variables captured from multiple sensors. Attributes might include temperature, pressure, transparency, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and so on, collected over time. You might want some simple graphs or plots that let you explore your data across different dimensions, such as temperature versus pH or transparency versus salinity. You might want some basic statistics such as average or range for each attribute, from each height, for the time. The point is that you might use this basic type of exploration of the variables to ask specific questions in your problem space. The difference between this kind of analysis and what happens in a basic business intelligence system is that you’re dealing with huge volumes of data where you might not know how much query space you’ll need to examine it and you’re probably going to want to run computations in real time. Basic Monitoring - You might also want to monitor large volumes of data in real time. For example, you might want to monitor the water column attributes in the preceding example every second for an extended period from hundreds of locations and at varying heights in the water column. This would produce a huge data set. Or, you might be interested in monitoring the buzz associated with your product every minute when you launch an ad campaign. Whereas the water column data set might produce a large amount of relatively structured time-sensitive data, the social media campaign is going to produce large amounts of disparate kinds of data from multiple sources across the Internet. Anomaly Identification - You might want to identify anomalies, such as an event where the actual observation differs from what you expected, in your data because that may clue you in that something is going wrong with your organization, manufacturing process, and so on. For example, you might want to analyze the records for your manufacturing operation to determine whether one kind of machine, or one operator, has a higher incidence of a certain kind of problem. This might involve some simple statistics like moving averages triggered by an alert from the problematic machine.

Advanced Analytics - Advanced analytics provides algorithms for complex analysis of either structured or unstructured data. It includes sophisticated statistical models, machine learning, neural networks, text analytics and other advanced data-mining techniques. Today, advanced analytics is becoming more mainstream. With increases in computational power, improved data infrastructure, new algorithm development, and the need to obtain better insight from increasingly vast amounts of data, companies are pushing toward utilizing advanced analytics as part of their decision-making process. Businesses realize that better insights can provide a superior competitive position. Some of its applications are Predictive modeling: Predictive modeling is one of the most popular big data advanced analytics use cases. A predictive model is a statistical or data mining solution consisting of algorithms and techniques that can be used on both structured and unstructured data (together or individually) to determine future outcomes. For example, a telecommunications company might use a predictive model to predict customers who might drop its service. In the big data world, you might have large numbers of predictive attributes across huge amounts of observations. Whereas in the past, it might have taken hours (or longer) to run a predictive model, with a large amount of data on your desktop, you might be able to now run it iteratively hundreds of times if you have a big data infrastructure in place.

Text analytics: Unstructured data is such a big part of big data, so text analytics — the process of analyzing unstructured text, extracting relevant information, and transforming it into structured information that can then be leveraged in various ways — has become an important component of the big data ecosystem. The analysis and extraction processes used in text analytics take advantage of techniques that originated in computational linguistics, statistics, and other computer science disciplines. Text analytics is being used in all sorts of analysis, from predicting churn, to fraud, and to social media analytics. Data Mining: Data mining involves exploring and analyzing large amounts of data to find patterns in that data. The techniques came out of the fields of statistics and artificial intelligence (AI), with a bit of database management thrown into the mix. Generally, the goal of the data mining is either classification or prediction. In classification, the idea is to sort data into groups. For example, a marketer might be interested in the characteristics of those who responded versus who didn’t respond to a promotion. These are two classes. In prediction, the idea is to predict the value of a continuous (that is, non-discrete) variable. For example, a marketer might be interested in predicting those who will respond to a promotion. Typical algorithms used in data mining include the following:

Classification Trees - A popular data mining technique that is used to classify a dependent categorical variable based on measurements of one or more predictor variables. The result is a tree with nodes and links between the nodes that can be read to form if-then rules.

Logistic regression: A statistical technique that is a variant of standard regression but extends the concept to deal with classification. It produces a formula that predicts the probability of the occurrence as a function of the independent variables.

Neural networks: A software algorithm that is modeled after the parallel architecture of animal brains. The network consists of input nodes, hidden layers, and output nodes. Each of the units is assigned a weight. Data is given to the input node, and by a system of trial and error, the algorithm adjusts the weights until it meets certain stopping criteria. Some people have likened this to a black–box (you don’t necessarily know what is going on inside) approach.

Clustering techniques like K-nearest neighbors: A technique that identifies groups of similar records. The K-nearest neighbor technique calculates the distances between the record and points in the historical (training) data. It then assigns this record to the class of its nearest neighbor in a data set.

Operational Analytics - When you operationalize analytics, you make them part of a business process. For example, statisticians at an insurance company might build a model that predicts the likelihood of a claim being fraudulent. The model, along with some decision rules, could be included in the company’s claims-processing system to flag claims with a high probability of fraud. These claims would be sent to an investigation unit for further review. In other cases, the model itself might not be as apparent to the end user. For example, a model could be built to predict customers who are good targets for upselling when they call into a call center. The call center agent, while on the phone with the customer, would receive a message on specific additional products to sell to this customer. The agent might not even know that a predictive model was working behind the scenes to make this recommendation. Monetized Analytics - Analytics can be used to optimize your business to create better decisions and drive bottom- and top-line revenue. However, big data analytics can also be used to derive revenue above and beyond the insights it provides just for your own department or company. You might be able to assemble a unique data set that is valuable to other companies, as well. For example, credit card providers take the data they assemble to offer value-added analytics products. Likewise, with financial institutions. Telecommunications companies are beginning to sell location-based insights to retailers. The idea is that various sources of data, such as billing data, location data, text messaging data, or web-browsing data can be used together or separately to make inferences about customer behavior patterns that retailers would find useful. As a regulated industry, they must do so in compliance with legislation and privacy policies.

CHALLENGES FACED – BFSI 1. Not making enough Money - Despite all the headlines about banking profitability, banks

and financial institutions still are not making enough return on investment, or the return on

equity, that shareholders require.

2. Consumer Expectations - These days it’s all about the customer experience, and many

banks are feeling pressure because they are not delivering the level of service that consumers

are demanding, especially in regards to technology.

3. Increasing Competition From FinTech Companies - Financial technology (FinTech)

companies are usually start-up companies based on using software to provide financial

services. The increasing popularity of FinTech companies is disrupting the way traditional

banking has been done. This creates a big challenge for traditional banks because they are not

able to adjust quickly to the changes – not just in technology, but also in operations, culture,

and other facets of the industry.

4. Regulatory Pressure - Regulatory requirements continue to increase, and banks need to

spend a large part of their discretionary budget on being compliant, and on building systems

and processes to keep up with the escalating requirements.

5. Fraud Detection - The more services the BFSI sector offers, the more avenues of investment

open, and it simultaneously increases the risk of fraudulent activity. Various new payment

channels, online payment options including digital wallets have opened new avenues for

customer comfort as well as risks of fraud. With new payment methods, it increases

verification of customers, with an increase of verification details that increases data volume,

requiring big data analytics. Money laundering, fake identity and other fraudulent activities

lead to direct and indirect financial losses for any financial service provider. From reputational

impact to losses of money to address the problem, frauds have a major impact on business.

Now if a customer’s credit or debit card is being misused, with real-time data of geographical

location and time the bank can alert the customer instantly, giving the customer a chance to

take prompt actions. Comparing geographical locations of customers and card usage, spending

patterns and other vital information financial service providers are able to better detect and

take action against frauds. According to EY’s Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2014

showed that 72% of respondents believed big data technologies had a role to play in fraud

prevention and detection.

6. Security - The BFSI sector deals with a lot of vulnerable data, making data security a challenge

for this industry. Customers’ personal data, financial data, location and identity are among the

various kinds of data banks and other financial institutions have to delve into and preserve from

security threats. Secure database and stringent data governance provide complete control over

who gets access to which data. Various components of big data are aligned with maintaining data

security in storage and maintaining and upgrading with various compliances including PCI and

PII, Dodd Franks etc. Another important part of this is risk management. Data lakes can serve

as converged regulatory and risk (RDARR) hubs. Thanks to predictive data analytics, it is easier

to sort through customer history and other information to filter out risks and fraudulent activity

before investing. Gartner predicts that by 2018 customer digital assistants will recognize

individuals by face and voice across channels and partners.

7. IoT Data - Financial services organizations are struggling to understand how to leverage IoT

data. This is the next wave of hype that is grabbing attention in big data, and questions abound

in terms of financial services applications. For some industries (telco, retail, and

manufacturing) it is already a reality, and these segments have driven the need for IoT data

and forced the current conversation. For banks, will IoT data be used more for ATM or mobile

banking? Areas that are worth exploring over the coming year involve multiple streams of

activity in real time. For example, real-time, multi-channel activities can use IoT data to offer

the right offer and advice to retail banking customers at the right time. Or perhaps we should

think about this in reverse, where financial firms could embed their services into the actual

“thing” or device or other client touch points, not unlike trading collocation facilities that then

report home.

8. Need For Data Governance - Data governance, lineage, and other compliance aspects are becoming more deeply integrated with big data platforms. In order to find a more complete and comprehensive data solution to manage compliance mandates, many banks develop or purchase point solutions, or they try to use existing legacy platforms that are not able to deal with the data surge.

9. Digital Shift – Online and mobile banking are disrupting the way traditional banking transactions happened. According to a Braun Research in the US. 33% of consumers are using their mobile app more often and 35% are banking online more frequently than a year ago, while only 16% are stopping by branches more often. In addition, of the more than 1,500 adults surveyed (not confined to Chase Bank customers), 70% of consumers still prefer using a bank’s website or online portal, compared to the 47% who prefer using the bank’s app on a mobile phone or tablet. Interestingly, 78% of Millennials use a bank’s website or online portal, as do 75% of GenX consumers and 67% of Baby Boomers.

10. P2P Payments - The opportunity is huge. Globally, the market for peer-to-peer transfers and remittances is worth well over $1 trillion. Globally, the volume of P2P payments is over $1 trillion and only a sliver of those transactions - just $5 billion in the U.S., for example - are currently conducted via mobile phones. Peer-to-peer payment apps solve real pain points for consumers. P2P transactions volume could reach $86 billion in the U.S. by 2018. In emerging markets, there is especially huge potential for P2P payments made on cell phones, due to a lack of financial infrastructure. A high proportion of the population in these markets lack access to checking and savings accounts.

undetectable risks. Application of data and business insights developed through applied analytical disciplines to drive fact-

based planning, decisions, execution, management, measurement, and learning.

CHALLENGES FACED BY DIGITAL COMMERCE PLAYERS: -

1. Product & Market Strategy: eCommerce companies must address issues pertaining to rapidly

evolving customer segments and product portfolios; access information on market intelligence on

growth, size and share; manage multiple customer engagement platforms; focus on expansion into new

geographies, brands and products; and simultaneously tackle a hypercompetitive pricing environment.

2. Customer & Digital Experience: Companies are expected to provide a rich, fresh and simple

customer experience, not geared towards discovery; manage inconsistent brand experience across

platforms; manage the proliferation of technologies; and handle time-to-market pressure for new

applications. In the recent past, social media has become more influential than paid marketing.

3. Payments and transactions: eCommerce companies may face issues around security and privacy

breach and controlling fictitious transactions. Further, RBI restrictions for prepaid instruments or

eWallets act as impediments. From a transactions perspective, cross-border tax and regulatory issues,

and backend service tax and withholding tax can have serious implications.

4. Fulfillment: Companies will need to check if the physical infrastructure gets affected by the internet

speed. Also, the lack of an integrated end-to-end logistics platform and innovation-focused fulfillment

option could cause delivery issues. Challenges around reverse logistics management and third party

logistics interactions could also act as barriers to growth.

5. Organization scaling: eCommerce companies are expected to make sure organization design keeps

pace with the rapidly evolving business strategy, along with fluid governance, strong leadership and

management development. From a growth perspective, identifying acquisition opportunities,

fundraising and IPO readiness becomes necessary. From a technology perspective, it is important to

transform IT as an innovation hub and address the lack of synergy between business, technology and

operations functions of the enterprise.

6. Tax and regulatory structuring: Companies will need to address issues around sub-optimal

warehouse tax planning; imbalance between FDI norms vis-à-vis adequate entity controls; inefficient

holding, IPR or entity structures; and international tax inefficiencies. Future challenges include the new

Companies Act, policy on related-party transaction pricing, and the uncertainty around GST roadmap.

7. Risk, fraud and cyber security: From a risk perspective, eCommerce companies could face issues

around brand risk, insider threats and website uptime. Issues around employee-vendor nexus, bribery

and corruption make companies vulnerable to fines. Cyber security also raises some concerns around

website exploitation by external entities.

Page | 10

8. Compliance framework: eCommerce companies are to comply with several laws, many of which are

still evolving. Potential issues around cyber law compliance, inefficient anti-corruption framework,

legal exposure in agreements or arrangements, indirect and direct tax compliance framework and

FEMA contraventions and regularization could pose problems. Also, uncertainty around VAT

implications in different states due to peculiar business models could cause issues.

9. Competitive Pricing: Online merchants often compete on price. For example, dozens or even

hundreds of sellers may list identical products on marketplaces. These companies are vying to make a

sale with nothing to differentiate their stores except price. This sort of price competition has hurt some

small retailers, which may not have the buying power to compete with mid-sized or large competitors.

Add to this the pressure to offer free shipping on nearly every order, and price and shipping

competition is a real problem for some stores. In 2016, this problem will grow worse for the smallest

businesses in the industry. Large online sellers like Amazon and Walmart have shipping facilities

around the country. These distributed warehouses allow large e-commerce businesses to ship orders

from the nearest facility, which for as many as 60 percents of orders is in the same metropolitan area

the customer is in. When orders are shipped from these nearby warehouses, the cost to send the order

can be substantially less and the order will frequently arrive with a day or two. Bottom line, online

shoppers will increasingly expect fast, free shipping — on top of the lowest price.

10. Financial Health: Managing an eCommerce business comes with a lot of financial risks. One of the

biggest challenges is cash liquidity. Accurate data on margins and revenue is key to sustainability. So,

the leaders must go beyond and above what is required in terms of regulation and vulnerability.

11. Data Management and accounting Issues: E-commerce companies have a huge transaction base

based on the order book, but what we don’t anticipate are the multiple layers of each transaction. Every

customer order generates seller order, logistics order and much more internal reconciliation

transactions. Each of these transactions has a financial impact and any lapse even in a single layer could

result in a huge financial loss, which may go unnoticed until the same is reconciled on a regular

frequency.

12. Inventory Accounting: One of the key challenges for operational success is the company's inventory

management process and ability to effectively manage a lean working capital. Additionally, to ensure

that inventory is available at the right time and at the traceable location, these companies need to

manage inventory records in a comprehensive manner. Error in maintaining these records gets

converted into financial loss due to inventory loss and non-fulfilment to the customer.

13. Managing Seller Registration and Settlement: The most important aspect of e-commerce

business, especially in the marketplace, is managing seller/vendors who are selling their products on

the platform. Some of the key areas of concern are: Seller and Vendor registration, catalog update, and

blocking, Reconciliation of seller settlement, and Seller return, refund and collection.

14. Customer Data: In some countries marketers are getting tired of hearing about the importance of

data. In the last 5 years, it was all about big data, they say. But consumers don’t shop the way they did

before. And their behavior is still changing. Therefore, data to measure consumers’ paths to

purchase (and post-purchase) are still relevant, and will be even more in 2016. They offer an ability to

understand the evolving customer preferences.

Understanding customers’ preferences will also make it possible to offer a successful pre-

purchase touch point. For instance, L’Oréal’s app “Make Up Genius” let potential customers make a

picture of themselves, and try the L’Oréal’s products. More than 65 million consumers asked for a

sample.

Analyzing and understanding consumers’ data also will make it possible to make successful assortment

choices in digital and offline stores. Fashion retailers can offer specific clothes only in their digital store

or only in the physical store. Not only popularity (online or offline), but also the relevance to feel and try

it on, are some of the reasons to offer different collections. Knowing and understanding the modern

customer, will fill possible gaps in the customer journey, and will make it possible to offer what is

truly relevant for the customer.

Page | 11

15. Availability: eCommerce is far more than just offering products online. On the contrary, more

important is the availability of the goods. Retailers lose more than $600 billion worldwide to sales

returns annually. The largest chunk of the total is lost by retailers in North America, per a report, with

retailers in Europe and the Middle East not far behind in losses. Retailers need to minimize their

returns. But on the consumer side, easy returns are key to a comfortable shopping experience. That is

why nearly half of retailers worldwide offer the option to return or exchange purchases in-store.

In 2016 it is to be expected that real-time visibility of the stock, and the handling of the delivery

and returns will be crucial. This will be influenced by the new ways consumers are shopping online, and

the (high) expectations of home delivery and seamless cross-overs between devices used on the go, at

home, at work, and in stores. eCommerce organizations need to look beyond traditional fulfillment

strategies such as make-to-stock, make-to-forecast and make-to-order.

2016 will be the year of solving issues regarding the last mile of eCommerce fulfillment: the final leg

of products’ journeys reaching the spot where the customer is available. Already 2015 was important for

the logistic part of eCommerce with many specialized startups coming up in the space. Instant and daily

delivery at customers’ doorsteps, pickup points, or fulfillment centers; in 2016 every retailer or e-tailer

will find the best way to service its customers to perfect its last-mile delivery process. In 2016 no

retailer or e-tailer can afford to make its customers wait due to last-mile issues anymore. Improvements

also include real-time order tracking, to let customers keep an eye on the product’s journey. And on

top of that packages innovations are being expected.

Benefits of BDA (Big Data Analytics) for

Marketers A. Differentiating pricing strategies at the customer-product level and optimization of

pricing. McKinsey found that 75% of a typical company’s revenue comes from its standard

products and that 30% of the thousands of pricing decisions companies make every year fail to

deliver the best price. With a 1% price increase translating into an 8.7% increase in operating

profits, assuming there is no loss of volume, pricing has significant upside potential for improving

profitability.

B. Customer Insights & Responsiveness - Forrester study found that 44% of B2C marketers are

using big data and analytics to improve responsiveness to 36% are actively using analytics and data

mining to gain greater insights to plan more relationship-driven strategies.

C. Incremental Customer Acquisition and Revenue per customer, Reduction of Churn –

According to a study by Datameer Customer Analytics (48%), Operational Analytics (21%), Fraud

and Compliance (12%) New Product & Service Innovation (10%) and Enterprise Data Warehouse

Optimization (10%) are among the most popular big data use cases in sales and marketing.

D. Embedded intelligence into Contextual Marketing - The marketing platform stack in many

companies is growing fast based on evolving customer, sales, service and channel needs not met

with existing systems today. As a result, many marketing stacks aren’t completely integrated at the

data and process levels. Big data analytics provides the foundation for creating scalable Systems of

Insight to help alleviate this problem.

E. Cementing customer Relationships - By using big data analytics to define and guide customer

development, marketers increase the potential of creating greater customer loyalty and improving

customer lifetime.

F. Optimization of Sales & GTM Strategies - McKinsey found that biopharma companies

typically spend 20% to 30% of their revenues on selling, general, and administrative If these

companies could more accurately align their selling and go-to-market strategies with regions and

territories that had the greatest sales potential, go-to-market costs would be immediately reduced.

G. Long Term - 58% of Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) say search engine optimization (SEO) and

marketing, email marketing, and mobile is where big data is having the largest impact on their

marketing programs today.

H. Greater Customer Engagement and Loyalty – According to a Forbes study with market

leaders across ten industries department-specific analytics and Big Data expertise were sufficient to

get strategies off the ground and successful; enterprise-wide expertise and massive culture change

were accomplished after pilot programs delivered positive results.

I. Enhancing Profitability – According to Deloitte stats Generating revenue, reducing costs and

reducing working capital are three core areas where Big Data is delivering business value today. An

enterprises’ value drivers scale more efficiently when managed using advanced analytics and Big

data.

J. Omnichannel Experience - CVA is emerging as a viable series of Big Data-based technologies

that accelerate sales cycles while retaining and scaling the personalized nature of customer

relationships. The bottom line is that CVA is now a viable series of technologies for orchestrating

excellent omnichannel customer experiences across a selling network.
