Put Your Data to Work With Business Analytics
Every organization, regardless of its current capability, can benefit by becoming more analytical over time. From strategy to execution, Heights works with businesses, government agencies and other public service organizations to develop the predictive capabilities needed to outperform in these fast-changing times.
Using analytics tools to collect massive amounts of Big Data from your organization is one thing. Extracting the meaning of that data and using it to drive real growth is another. Business analytics from SAP can help you unleash the power of collective insight by delivering enterprise business intelligence, agile visualizations and advanced predictive analytics to all users on any device or platform.
Heights Analytics and Insights services help you take faster and smarter business decisions. We also help you analyze large volumes of business data, test various hypotheses against this data and arrive at conclusions that help define effective business strategies. Further, we use innovative tools and technologies to deliver superior results.
How Business Analytics can help
Business Analytics is the art and science of developing new insights and understanding business performance strictly based on data and statistical / predictive analysis methods. An organization’s competitive advantage increases with the degree of intelligence that it gains with its own data.
Analytics provides more than traditional Business Intelligence. Historical reporting generally constitutes “what has already happened”. On the other hand, analytics tries to analyze the historical information and predict “what might happen in the future”. Analytics delivers the true value of Intelligence to Business Intelligence.

Methodology
Heights has developed its DEMAND methodology based on CRISP-DM (Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) and extensive analytics deployment experience.
Our robust DEMAND methodology for business analytics includes five phases from Discovery through Deployment and Monitoring. We’ll help you discover the power of business analytics and the value impact it can have on your business.
- Discover & Explore – Exercise to assess the analytical maturity, understand data sources and prepare the data for modeling. This takes 60-70% of the time.
- Modeling – Identify a suitable modeling algorithm, create, select, modify and determine the key variables for modeling.
- Assess Performance – Once a model is built, evaluate the reliability of findings. Estimate performance using model-test strategy.
- Notify Results – The model accuracy denotes the applicability of the model on a fresh set of data. This is an iterative process until the model is finalized.
- Deploy & Monitor – The finalized model is deployed in production and put to use in operation. Regular monitoring of model performance is conducted. If need be, the model is re-calibrated. The above process is further repeated.
- Customer insights — To help you understand consumption trends, loyalty and customer behaviour and manage the 4Ps (product, price, promotion, place) better.
- Financial insights — To help you manage expenditure, cash flow and investments better for faster revenue growth.
- Marketing analytics — To help marketing teams deliver the right customer acquisition, growth, retention and profitability initiatives and measure brands and channels across digital, social and traditional media.
