EDF

“With around five million customer records, we have a vast pool of data that we can mine for insights to improve the efficiency of our business.”

“However, until we started working using Clementine from SPSS, our analysis was carried out on an ad hoc basis meaning that to a large extent that the wealth of information was not exploited.”

“SPSS’ technology means we can maximise the value of our data and use the resulting information to greatly improve our customer service and sales efforts. This enables us to gain better results without having to increase our resources.”

Clifford Budge, Customer Insight Manager at EDF Energy, UK

PowerGen

“SPSS has more than paid for itself in the short time we’ve had it and, as a result, we’ve started to use text mining tools from the company to look at customer records in call centers. In the analytics team at least, SPSS is the fundamental tool in our toolkit, and has more than proved its value.”
