10:30am-11:30am: How to Develop an ROI for Business Intelligence and Analytics Projects
Steve Sarsfield, Director, Product Marketing, Vertica
In the technology world, we know that success in analytics is often defined by access to more data with less down-time, and delivering more accurate analytics at faster speeds. However, executives and business users need to understand the costs, benefits, and return on investment (ROI) before making an initial technology investment and hiring supporting staff and resources. They want the benefits of analytics in a language they will understand. A well-understood and clearly defined business case that can show tangible value makes it easier to get business buy-in. In turn, you can transform your analytics team into a trusted business partner and an essential resource in the organization, not just a cost center.
In this session, Steve Sarsfield, author of the Data Governance Imperative and key lead of the Vertica product team, will offer you advice on how to define and track ROI when delivering your new analytics project. By joining, you’ll learn specific metrics that you can track to show impact to three key areas: revenue, efficiency and compliance. Steve will also discuss the tips and tricks that he has learned from leading data-driven organizations teams who have successfully tracked ROI.
