Our Analytics Roadmap service introduces practical use cases and return on investment (ROI) metrics to your big data program.

Overview

An analytics roadmap is an essential tool in a modern analytics program. We use a process and knowledge of proven use cases to generate a business use case driven roadmap for big data and advanced analytics. A short 1 to 2 week engagement develops the use cases and a longer 4 week engagement develops a full roadmap including the technology stack required to enable it.

What is an analytics roadmap and why do I need one?

An analytics roadmap is a process that identifies use cases and desired outcomes that generate business value. Those outcomes will align with your analytics strategy and have a measurable ROI. This is the difference between an analytics strategy and an analytics roadmap: if you have an analytics strategy, you will want an actionable, use case-based plan to implement it and achieve ROI.

Generating business value is one of the largest challenges facing big data implementations. Creating an analytics roadmap requires experience and access to many, many analytics use cases to know which to prioritise for an organisation.

How we build an analytics roadmap

Our experts help you rapidly identify the business use cases needed to drive ROI from your investment. We use an evaluation tool to rank your use cases by potential value and ease of execution given your current data landscape.

We then develop a clear roadmap that is sequenced over time, and which outlines your priority business use cases and the data required to support them.

What are the deliverables from an Analytics Roadmap consulting engagement?

Through a 1-2 week series of seminars and facilitated workshops, you will obtain:

A prioritised and defined set of applicable analytics use cases detailing:

  • identified ROI and
  • data requirements for each use case, taking into account your environment and constraints.
  • A high level technology architecture roadmap to deliver the plan (optional)

Modular Delivery Options

We offer the Analytics Roadmap service in modules, allowing you to start with a very small commitment and add on as you go for a complete roadmap.

Taken altogether as a 4 week engagement this service allows you to to identify the high value use cases, understand the data required to deliver them and the technology and architecture stack needed to support them.

Why should I get consultants to help with my analytics roadmap?

An analytics consulting company should have their own library of use cases for analytics that they have built up over years of consulting practice. Analytics use cases offer a description, objectives, insights and proven value outcomes from actual implementations of a use case. Consultants will have a proven process to generate a roadmap and be wary of pitfalls and how to avoid them.

AlphaZetta has such a Use Case Library of over 100 analytics use cases across 6 business domains. Our deep experience running analytics projects means our consultants have a process to follow in how to match and prioritise use cases to the customer’s stakeholder needs and analytics strategy.
