SAS® Cross-Sell and Up-Sell for Telecommunications

Business Intelligence BI Software : SAS® Cross-Sell and Up-Sell for Telecommunications

In an industry like telecommunications, where high annual churn rates continue to be a primary concern, it is essential not just to retain current customers but also to maximize their value through effective cross-selling and up-selling. SAS Cross-Sell and Up-Sell for Telecommunications provides pre-built models and processes to help you increase revenue, recover acquisition costs more quickly and predict "what next?" for individual customers.

Despite its importance, many telecommunications companies struggle to perform effective cross-selling. Customer data that would help identify good candidates for cross-sell and up-sell is often scattered throughout the enterprise, making it impossible to get a clear view of customer preferences and customer behavior. And without a complete view of customers and an effective way to profile them, marketing strategies for cross-selling and up-selling are unlikely to recover their own costs.

SAS Cross-Sell and Up-Sell for Telecommunications lets you profile customers who have purchased numerous products or upgrades. Then you can assign similar analytics to other customers in order to determine which ones are good candidates for cross-selling and up-selling.

The solution includes:

  • A market basket analysis predictive model.
  • Customer loyalty program analysis and reporting.
  • Channel effectiveness analysis and reporting.
  • Billed call behavior analysis and reporting.
  • Unbilled call behavior analysis and reporting.

Market basket analysis allows you to predict likely candidates for cross-sell opportunities given purchase history, customer demographics, call behavior and other significant variables. For example, certain customers may go from having a basic fixed-line subscription to adding on multiple fixed lines plus Internet service. Once you identify this behavior pattern, you can use that knowledge to aim marketing campaigns at customers who are most likely to follow the same path.

Comprehensive telecommunications intelligence
SAS Cross-Sell and Up-Sell for Telecommunications is just one component of SAS Telecommunications Intelligence Solutions, a suite of software and services that combines award-winning analytic and data warehousing technology with decades of industry experience. Through proven, pre-built processes, techniques and models, SAS Telecommunications Intelligence Solutions speed up both implementation and results – yielding significant returns within months, not years.

Business Intelligence BI Software Solutions : SAS® Campaign Management for Telecommunications

As the telecommunications marketplace grows more competitive with each passing day, the need to establish and grow profitable customer relationships increases as well. Annual churn rates remain high and the cost of acquiring new customers rises all the time. To succeed, telecommunications companies must not only improve their ability to retain customers; they must find new ways to maximize customer profitability over the life of each customer relationship.

Business Intelligence BI Solutions : SAS® for Aerospace

Predict peak performance
Competition in the aerospace and defense sector has never been more fierce. Now, more than any other time, you have to operate lean and mean, from stem to stern and factory to foxhole. Not only do you need to show a return to shareholders, you need to demonstrate proven value and performance to your customers or risk losing business.

Defense contractors have especially difficult challenges – from congressional oversight to supporting the defense customer’s mission and its complex requirements. Predicting and controlling risk is becoming more important as performance-based contracting grows. Vendors must deliver better value while accepting more responsibility for the performance and sustainment of their programs.

Whether you use SAS to improve your own internal operations or partner with SAS to provide operational efficiencies for your government customers, the SAS® Enterprise Intelligence Platform extends the value of your existing systems while setting the stage for new levels of enterprise intelligence not previously possible. SAS solutions allow you to access information from virtually any system or data format and are founded on:

Data integration. Integrate information from disparate systems for data that is accurate, consistent and ready to use to make sound decisions.
Business intelligence. Obtain a global view of the program with self-service reporting and analysis that gives you the information you need, when and how you need it.
Analytics. Use advanced and predictive analytics to more accurately forecast future requirements and potential outcomes. Compare options with what-if analyses to make the best decisions.
Intelligence Storage. Efficiently store and disseminate information for business intelligence and analytic requirements.
SAS is the only vendor that completely integrates leading data warehousing, analytics and traditional BI applications to create intelligence from massive amounts of data – scalability other vendors cannot match.

SAS solutions can be implemented quickly and cost effectively. They leverage your current IT systems already in place and get more out of your current applications.

Program Performance Management – To effectively measure and manage government program execution, program managers must identify potential problem areas before they become an issue.

SAS solutions help program managers manage their complex contracts more effectively by monitoring key performance indicators. When problem areas are detected, SAS allows you to perform what-if analysis to identify the best alternative. What sets SAS apart from the rest of the pack is the power we give our customers to not just gaze at the past but predict future outcomes that will improve their businesses.

Forget rip and replace – avoid complex and costly multi-year, enterprisewide implementations. SAS can utilize existing databases and transaction systems, such as ERP and CRM and take it one step further – from “what is” to “what will be.”

Service and Spare Parts Optimization – As cost pressures increase throughout the product life cycle, optimizing the complex global supply chain becomes paramount. The SAS® for Spare Parts Optimization solution helps aerospace and defense companies optimize their supply chain and maintenance operations so they reduce costs while sustaining a high level of service.

Proactively forecast where and when parts will be needed. Predict failures before they happen. Forecast shortages and predict failures. Increase availability. Provide what your customers need, when and where they need it, at an affordable cost.

SAS invests in Capital Markets US Practice

Business Intelligence BI Software News : SAS invests in Capital Markets US Practice

SAS, the leader in business intelligence and predictive analytics, continues its commitment to the financial services industry by forming the SAS Capital Markets US Practice. This new division will develop strategies to leverage existing revenue, expand current client relationships and cultivate new revenue streams in the hedge fund, risk and asset management industry.

The practice will apply its deep domain expertise to help institutions leverage SAS capabilities and best practices to address specific business challenges and opportunities in capital markets. Risk management based on strong analytics will be a key focus for the practice, targeting counterparty credit risk, settlement risk, risk-adjusted capital management and portfolio stress testing and analytics. In addition, SAS intends to launch a broker churn solution for asset management in the fourth quarter of 2008. SAS realizes that enterprise risk and performance management solutions with embedded analytics will be critical components for long-term success within capital markets.

“The capital markets business continues to thrive and become more sophisticated across major revenue lines while becoming more complicated,” said TowerGroup analyst Stephen Bruel. “Global firms will be looking for partners who can offer valuable domain expertise and technology solutions to help optimize their trading strategies, efficiently process transactions, effectively manage risk, and maximize their client relationships."

Paul Devlin has been named Director of the SAS Capital Markets US Practice. Devlin has successfully built sales and consultancy teams for SAS across all its industries and has 20 years experience in the UK and US financial services industries.

“This practice formation reflects the success SAS has seen within the capital markets industry and how SAS strives to address the specific business needs of its customers,” said Devlin. “In the past year, the capital markets industry has realized the importance of implementing a more robust risk discipline across the enterprise to minimize exposure and maximize capital efficiencies. In addition, upcoming legislation will mandate transparency in the capital markets space, which as we know, has traditionally been difficult to achieve in this industry.”

“SAS is uniquely positioned, through its combination of existing clients, industry expertise and integrated risk platform, to help its clients implement enterprise risk and performance management practices that drives significant cost, profit and capital efficiencies,” said Devlin. “It will build the foundation for achieving transparency and meeting regulatory requirements both now and in the future."

Chartis Research recently ranked SAS as the leader for the fourth consecutive year in its Operational Risk Management Systems 2008 report and for the second year as the leader for retail banking in its Credit Risk Management Systems 2008 report.

Oracle Business Intelligence Solutions

BI Software Articles : Oracle Business Intelligence Solutions by Jack Doran

The Most Comprehensive BI from the Worldwide Leader in Business Analytics Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) is the most comprehensive portfolio of technology and applications for enabling the insight-driven organization, including leading BI applications, BI platform technology, and data warehousing. With the #1 market share in business analytics, Oracle BI enables organizations to gain complete and timely insight, distribute intelligence pervasively, and drive more effective actions and processes. Oracle BI is hot-pluggable with Oracle and non-Oracle environments so customers can fully leverage existing data sources, systems and applications. At the same time, by offering comprehensive, integrated solutions that are optimized and pre-integrated with Oracle database, middleware, and applications, organizations can benefit from reduced cost and complexity and a unified BI infrastructure.

Corporate Performance Management and Daily Business Intelligence
The Oracle E-Business Suite Corporate Performance Management (CPM) and Daily Business Intelligence (DBI) applications enable organizations to achieve world-class performance by aligning the right information and resources to strategic objectives. Oracle Corporate Performance Management helps managers formulate strategies for profitable growth, align strategies with operational plans, actively monitor day-to-day operations, and collaborate across the enterprise. A unified data model provides a single, accurate view of enterprise-wide information, promoting transparency, actionable analysis, and rapid execution. And when Oracle's Corporate Performance Management and DBI applications run on Oracle technology, you speed implementation, optimize performance, streamline support - and maximize ROI.

Why consider e-business suite corporate performance management and dbi?

Oracle DBI has up to 80% Lower TCO than SAP 1
"Oracle continues to grow the BPM applications segment of the business as defined by IDC and is achieving traction across the BPM suite with innovative approaches to both consolidation and planning/budgeting, particularly with recent releases incorporating maturing market requirements." 2
"We met our budget targets shortly after implementing Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting. The software helped us standardize processes and made budget management easier and more flexible. It is a strategic business management tool." China Eastern Airlines
Daily Business Intelligence provides a depth of operational reporting and business intelligence that is not otherwise available even if you implement a data warehouse .If you are already an Oracle user then you should be looking at Daily Business Intelligence. If you are not an Oracle user but are considering an ERP system, then the inclusion of Daily Business Intelligence at what will be a fraction of the cost of other systems, should play a significant part in your decision about your eventual provider 3.

Business Intelligence Gets Smarter

BI Software Articles : Business Intelligence Gets Smart(er) by Jack Doran

Companies are using business intelligence software for more than simple data mining. They're using it to identify hot sellers, cut costs and discover new business.

IT LOOKED LIKE your average faux fish, mounted on a faux wood plaque. But when you walked by, the fish would turn its head, open its mouth and start singing, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" or "Take Me to the River." Pure kitsch. And as it turned out, pure gold for the True Value store owners lucky enough to have them in stock. "It was a hit," says Neil Hastie, former CIO of TruServ, a member-owned hardware cooperative of 7,000 or so independent retailers. "We ran out of them." So when the same company came out with a gopher singing "I'm All Right"--remember Caddyshack?--it seemed like a sure bet. "Everyone thinks, 'God, this is the second fish! Let's order the hell out of it.' So we did," Hastie says. "We ended up with truckloads of gophers we couldn't give away."

Fortunately for TruServ, the company had business intelligence (BI) software that helped it recognize the gopher fiasco early enough to liquidate the unwanted rodents and recoup some of its expenses. That ability to quickly make sense of oceans of data can be a competitive advantage, making BI software essential for many companies.

A 2003 Forrester Research report found that 45 percent of companies surveyed planned to shop for BI software this year, which explains why vendors such as Business Objects and Cognos have seen double-digit increases in their revenue. With today's BI tools, business folks can jump in and start slicing and dicing data themselves, rather than wait for IT to run complex reports.

A broad range of applications for BI is helping companies rack up impressive ROI figures. Business intelligence is being used to identify cost-cutting ideas, uncover new business opportunities, roll ERP data into accessible reports, react quickly to retail demand and optimize prices. TruServ's Hastie, for example, spent $250,000 on BI software from Business Objects and says the investment paid off in about two months. Besides using it to track anomalies like the gophers through an executive dashboard, TruServ is also pressing it into service as a CRM tool and is using it to integrate data from disparate accounting systems, which will help the company close its books two days earlier every month.

Time To Leverage That Data
To get at that data stuck in corporate America's big-ticket enterprise systems, many companies are turning to BI software. "We've seen a number of companies that invested a lot in ERP or CRM that have not necessarily seen the big returns they expected," says Rebecca Wettemann, vice president of research at Nucleus Research. "They're looking to BI as a way to, with a small additional investment, squeeze additional value out of those systems."

Besides making data accessible, BI software can give companies more leverage during negotiations by making it easier to quantify the value of relationships with key suppliers and customers. Given a corporate directive to cut purchasing costs by $2 billion in 2002, Motorola needed a consolidated view of its global supplier network. It used Informatica's PowerAnalyzer to analyze purchasing data to ensure that buyers around the world were taking advantage of negotiated deals. The tool automatically alerts buyers when they exceed spending thresholds that entitle the company to discounts.

Discover Opportunities, Drive Decisions
Within the walls of the enterprise, there are plenty of opportunities to save money by optimizing business processes and focusing decisions. BI yields significant ROI when it sheds light on business bloopers, à la TruServ's gophers. Employees of the city of Albuquerque, N.M, for example, used Cognos to identify opportunities to cut cell phone usage, overtime and other operating expenses, saving the city $2 million during three years. Likewise, using Brio's BI software, Toyota realized it had been double-paying its shippers to the tune of $812,000 in 2000.

Companies are also using BI to justify or disprove the wisdom of what would otherwise be gut business decisions. "Too often, evaluations of opportunities for growth are based on gut feelings, estimations and assumptions because it would be too expensive and time-consuming to get hard data," says Nucleus's Wettemann. "BI can let you run some quick numbers to justify that gut."

Track What's Hot and What's Not
To jump-start a campaign to reduce "red zone" inventory, TruServ used Business Objects to identify products that had been languishing in one of its 14 warehouses longer than 120 days. The company fed that information into supply chain software from JDA Software Group, which pulled the merchandise from the distribution centers and sold it to member stores at or below cost. That helped TruServ save $50 million in inventory carrying costs in 2002. Marketing managers at TruServ also use BI to identify where promotions are doing well and quickly redirect merchandise to those distribution centers from areas where the promotion is faring poorly.

Pick the Perfect Price
Hitting on the price that maximizes profits has long been an art, but BI's ability to crunch data in short order is changing that. "We're able to put a lot more science into establishing suggested retail prices," says Mike Altendorf, vice president of IT at Ace Hardware. Although stores are encouraged to adapt pricing to their location, BI has helped Ace show store owners how much they could expect their gross margins to increase if they were to raise their prices to Ace's suggested retail. In many cases, it was more than $50,000 annually per store. Ace had hoped to increase its wholesale margin by $19 million in one year. It actually increased by $175 million.

On this digital Century the business administration is radically moving for new ways, for the Next-Generation of Business Administration. For that reason, this series of articles will show some tips on that new way of doing business.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: Optimize - At this stage, the enterprise's knowledge workers are very focused on incremental process improvements and refining the value-creation process. Everyone understands and uses analysis, trending, pattern analysis, and predictive results to increase efficiency and effectiveness. The extended value chain becomes increasingly critical to the organization, including the customers, suppliers, and partners who constitute intercompany communities.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: Retailers are telling us over and over that they are seeking a single, stable, reliable, and proven provider of superior BI solutions. They are implementing projects that span multiple years and will deliver value for years to come.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: Leading retailers around the globe - like Wal-Mart, Foot Locker, Staples, Williams-Sonoma, and Amazon.com and many others - have begun using BI and analytics to make an array of strategic decisions. These include where to place retail outlets, how many of each size or color of an item to put in each store, and when and how much to discount. The effects of these decisions can save or generate millions of dollars for retailers.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: When a enterprise can make decisions based on timely and accurate information, the enterprise can improve its performance.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: Results-related queries: Someone should monitor the BI programme to ensure that objectives are being met. Adjustments in the programme may be necessary. The programme should be tested for accuracy, reliability, and validity. How can one demonstrate that the BI initiative [rather than other factors] contributed to a change in results? How much of the change was probably random?.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: Consolidate - At this stage, a enterprise has pulled together its data at the departmental level. Here, a question gets the same answer every time, at least within the department. However, departmental interests and interdepartmental competition can skew the integrity of the output and result in multiple versions of the truth.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: Business Partners must possess the same strategic information you have so that there is no miscommunication that can lead to inefficiencies. For example it is common now for businesses to allow their suppliers to see their inventory levels, performance metrics, and other supply chain data in order to collaborate to improve supply chain management.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: BI relates to the intelligence as information valued for its currency and relevance. It is expert information, knowledge and technologies efficient in the management of organizational and individual business.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: A system that recommends optimized price changes should interface with the price management system, the item master, the system that generates labels, etc.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: Baseline queries: Current information-gathering competency needs assessing. Does the organization have the capability of monitoring important sources of information? What data does the organization collect and how does it store that data? What are the statistical parameters of this data, e.g. how much random variation does it contain? Does the organization measure this?

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: Marketing - By understanding customers better - whether by profiling, segmenting, gauging propensity to respond, or using market basket analysis - retailers can create better-defined targeted campaigns, reducing expenses [printing, paper, postage] while increasing response rates, revenues, and gross margins.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: We find that the retailers that are realizing the most significant returns on their investments are those that take a purposeful, pragmatic approach to establishing an intelligence platform upon which to base all other BI solutions.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: BI software types: People working in business intelligence have developed tools that ease the work, especially when the intelligence task involves gathering and analyzing large quantities of unstructured data.

What is Business Intelligence & Data Mining BI?: BI will be defined by the retailers that have figured out how to maximize Customer satisfaction and profitability with the right combination of quality products, friendly and efficient service, unique value, a differentiated shopping experience, and a business model that truly serves its community - locally and globally.
