  • Ultimately, you'll make better decisions for all of your customers-offering the right product or service for the right person at the right time.

Convergence of Analytics, Architecture, and Business Process

What Is Convergence?

Convergence is the alignment of analytics, architecture and business process to create sustainable innovation. This isn't a future phenomenon - it's occurring every day in data-rich organizations that are looking for innovative ways to compete in challenging markets.

Driving Analytics

An explosion of interest in predictive analytics has organizations rethinking their entire analytics strategy. Competitive organizations are now treating analytical assets and processes as important intellectual property. Combine predictive analytics with superior architecture and key business processes to generate unheard of ROI in any business.

Superior Enterprise Architecture

Service-oriented architecture has taken over IT infrastructure by storm. This superior architecture allows organizations to quickly respond to business needs and deliver technology where and when it's needed the most.

SPSS Solutions take advantage of the flexibility of this infrastructure and deliver open, predictive technologies that can be integrated and deployed into an enterprise environment.

Integrate into Key Business Processes

The real power of convergence happens when predictive capabilities are integrated directly into key business processes. Imagine a business where not only can you predict customer behavior, but, you can act on that knowledge where and when needed.


Convergence and Transformation

Simply put, convergence drives transformation. Convergence will cause your organization to be more predictive, competitive, and more efficiently generate profitable revenue growth by acting on the 1:1 relationships you create with customers.

Drive Profitable Revenue Growth

The Five Key Business Objectives

What's the key to every organization's success? Profitable revenue growth. By creating the dialogue with millions of customers as individuals and encouraging desired behaviors, SPSS Solutions can significantly improve your competitive advantage.

  1. Attract More and Better Customers

    Rampant customer growth is not a key to success. However, attracting the right customers at the right time is. Predictive enterprises attract more of the best customers over their competitors.
  2. Retain Valuable Customers Longer

    Even in a competitive environment, the Predictive Enterprise is able to keep better customers longer. Keep your best customers by knowing them better than your competitors.
  3. Grow Your Existing Customer Relationships

    Drive profitable revenue by identifying those customers that offer an opportunity for you to grow your relationship with.
  4. Detect and Prevent Fraud

    Fraud not only cuts into your profitable revenue, but, poorly managed fraud detection can actually threaten relationships with your best customers. Predictive Enterprises better balance fraud detection and prevention while improving relationships with their best customers.
  5. Mitigate Risk

    Risks are growing in their complexity and impact to your business. SPSS Predictive Solutions ensure that you dynamically identify, track and mitigate risk through convergence of analytics, technology and processes.

SPSS Solutions - The Foundation of the Predictive Enterprise™

The Right Method

SPSS's deployment methodology - pr3 - is an incremental, phased approach aligned with the convergence of analytics, business process and technology. Phases of deployment meet each of the three aspects of convergence:

  • Analytics: Identify the best analytics to solve your business problem given the available data.
  • Business Process: Embed the predictive results of these analytics within your own business processes and take action in real-time.
  • Technology: Use service oriented architecture and compatible technology to rapidly integrate with your current technology infrastructure.

pr3 can be scaled to support any size project, from single application to enterprise wide deployments.

The Right Plan

The Roadmap Planning Program (RPP) is designed for organizations that want to create a long-term, phased plan for becoming a Predictive Enterprise.

At the end of the RPP, you will receive a series of deliverables that show your current state, as well as a plan to become a predictive enterprise. The roadmap is organized into discrete phases that make transformation manageable and flexible. ROI can be measured at each phase of the journey.

In short, pr3 and the RPP, together, help you achieve the rewarding goal of becoming a Predictive Enterprise.
