cumbersome to use

A Common Question

“We like SAP ERP (and HANA), we like Hadoop, and your BI tools are a standard. But we don’t understand how it’s all going to fit together. Help!”

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 27

“Classic” Enterprise Hadoop Use Cases

Semi-structured data loading / processing• First web data, now IoT/documents/images, etc.

Offload traditional relational DW• Typically no reduction in existing DW, but new data increasingly tiered

Queryable alternative to tape backups• E.g., when upgrade to different ERP system, keep copy of all old data

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 28

A “Modern Data Architecture” Example

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 29

Other Interesting Hadoop Use Cases

Fast scale up/down• Game apps company: big fan of Teradata, and found it cheaper to run than Hadoop, but when

individual games became a hit, they needed to be able to scale up (and down) fast

Avoid “brittle” ETL, push schema creation to the business• Large investment bank had dozens of different CRM setups, thousands of ETL jobs that kept

breaking – kept traditional DW, but added data lake -- “it’s all in there – have fun!”

Excel on steroids/exploration• Big, one-off decisions• We don’t know what we don’t know

Customer-facing “analytics”• Gas bill, etc.

Sandboxing/Data Extensions

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 31

Not Just a Data Store – A Platform

Far more than a batch-driven data store• Many still have an out of date view – it’s now based on Yarn/Spark, etc.• ”Data at Rest and Data in Motion”• But still not for “transactions” any time soon

Still maturing, still a lot of work, but has proved enterprise value• In particular, overcame biggest security & auditing concerns – Kerberos integration, encryption,

tokenization, Apache Ranger, … • Low capital costs to try things out (but don’t underestimate time/training/expertise needed)

Considered the heart of “digital transformation” in some large organizations…• ...At least by the team implementing Hadoop! (but there’s typically a large ”traditional IT”

modernization effort going on at the same time)

Result of All This: Data Complexity For The Foreseeable Future

Analytical Processing

Hadoop,MongoDB,Spark, etc. Personal

Data / BI

Where does data arrive?When does it need to move?Where does modeling happen?What can users do themselves?What governance is required?

Benchmarking Surgical Procedures

“Using surgical procedure data to help achieve $9.42 million in cost reductions, eliminate or minimize the use of certain surgical products, reduce variation in surgical protocols, establish best practices across surgical departments and ensure quality post-operative results for patients.”

Predictive Trends

At “peak of inflated expectations”

Predictive is a lower priority than data discovery/self-service, data quality, governance, …

But higher use of predictive is … predicted

The top users of predictive are now BI Experts & Business Analysts – not data scientists

Biggest challenges: greater volume & variety of data, operationalizing predictive, usability, skills/understanding

Situational Awareness

What do I need to do right now?

Prediction

What can I expect to happen?

Suggestion

What do you recommend?

Notification

What do I need to know?

Perception

now?

Artificial Intelligence-Powered Processes

Automation

What should I always do?

Prevention

What can I avoid?

BICCs Are Dead?

Long live ACEs:“Analytic Communities

of Excellence”!

Updating the Traditional BICC to Include Community

A Business Intelligence Competency Center (BICC) is a cross-functional organizational team that has defined tasks, responsibilities, roles, and skills for supporting and promoting the effective use of Business Intelligence* across an organization

* I.e., Analytics, Big Data, Data Science, etc.

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 55

It’s About Culture Change First and Foremost

From Power to Empower

From Collection to Connection

From Control to Trust

New BICCs are about providing good governance and encouraging best practice rather than providing reports and analytics

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 56

It’s All About The Relationship!

It’s nearly impossible to spend too much time understanding the real business needs.

It’s not something that can only be done from head office.

7 Key Points to Take Home

Business Intelligence and Analytics is more strategic than ever

Analytics now creates processes instead of just being generated by them

New trends in analytics means new approaches are required

Companies should invest in more self-service analytics for business users

Companies should invest in more flexible information architectures

Start preparing now for the artificial intelligence future

The number one priority is always the same: optimize your organization
