Increasing analytic maturity is cumulative; for example, most prescriptive analytics use predictive analysis; most cognitive systems leverage prescriptive analysis.

A growing city anticipates boosting productivity and lowering costs with a pioneering solution that delivers predictive modeling, advanced analytics and a unified view of city operations, enabling officials to plan, coordinate and prioritize activities across departments

Page 14

▪ The City of Cambridge comprises multiple agencies responsible for managing improvement

projects and manage more than 250,000 assets such as roads and buildings. The city had

volumes of data but could not exploit it to its full advantage.

▪ Agencies operated autonomously and reactively instead of proactively planning and

synchronizing projects with each other. The city faced an aging infrastructure, and its approach

was costly and unsustainable. To assure service and keep the city running, each agency had to

be functioning at maximum efficiency and operating with other agencies in a well-coordinated

fashion.

The opportunity

The solution▪ The City of Cambridge deployed a First-of-a-Kind project that combines asset

management innovations, predictive modeling, and geospatial and business analytics

to help it improve planning, operations and services across municipal departments.

▪ Through a sophisticated network of sensors, digital

closed-circuit television robots and geographic information system technology, the city

collects and aggregates a wealth of data about its roads, water and other key

infrastructure elements. This affords officials an unprecedented, holistic and unified

view of city operations.

▪ Then, by applying a deep and broad set of analytics against this data and insight, the

city can coordinate activities across the different agencies and prioritize improvement

and asset maintenance projects.

The results

▪ Anticipates saving USD100,000 per year in staff time spent on capital plan forecasting

▪ Reduced scenario and funding option assessment reporting time up to 90 percent -- from

hours to minutes

▪ Expects to reduce costs related to project coordination, operations and capital expenditures

A police

force in the

United

Kingdom

probes its

data more

deeply and

intelligently

to crack

down on

fraud-based

crime

The opportunityFrom credit card fraud to identity theft to money laundering, fraud was on the rise in this region in the United Kingdom, and the local constabulary was struggling to keep up. Analysts combed through millions of records stored on a wide variety of systems to tease out patterns that indicated nefarious activity, but they were losing the race against fraud-based crime.

The solutionThe force developed an innovative data management solution that draws together data from multiple sources, including banking data and tax information, and then uses automated task-driven analysis to identify patterns and uncover criminal networks hiding deep in the data. Whether it’s finding hidden links between stolen credit cards or discovering a new type of insurance fraud, the force is now staying a step ahead of fraudsters.

The results

Less time requiredto uncover fraud because data analysis is now automated

Responding to budgetary demands to maximize resources, this US law

enforcement agency needed to discern where crimes were most likely to occur

and who might be likely to commit them so that it could effectively position

police officers where they were most needed. To deploy officers where the need

was greatest, officers needed a solution that would provide real-time information

about emerging patterns of criminal activity.

The agency developed a cloud-based predictive policing solution that delivers

statistical models that calculate the hour-by-hour probability of crime occurring

in different parts of the city and the risk of different types of crimes occurring in

each area. The solution supplies a holistic, topographical view of historical and

emergent criminal activities and uses analytical, quantitative techniques to

detect nuanced patterns of activity, identifying targets for effective intervention.

Safety is the most important goal for carmakers. To get a head start on solving

safety issues and other problems, one carmaker based in Japan examines

customer incidents reported across all carmakers in the US. But the constant

flow of detailed descriptions is too massive to fully analyze with conventional

search tools. The company needed a faster way to understand volumes of

unstructured customer feedback.

The new solution pulls unstructured feedback into a data warehouse, where it

applies cognitive analytics and natural language processing (NLP) with

correlation and prediction analysis. Together, these cognitive capabilities find

trends, suggest reasons, recommend preventive measures and continually

learn the warning signs for new issues and complex connections that the

company needs to understand.

Phone records. Social media posts. Faces from surveillance video. These and

many more pieces of unstructured data can provide the building blocks for

solving complex crimes. But the first and essential step to getting there is to

establish meaningful connections and correlations between these pieces of

information. To solve crimes faster, this city police force sought to provide its

investigators with a tool to automate the large-scale analysis of evidence data.

The agency built a cognitive crime data analysis tool that uses advanced

natural language processing (NLP) and entity extraction technology to uncover

the hidden strands between even the most disparate pieces of unstructured

information. Reflecting that crime solving is a team effort, the solution enables

investigators across agencies to collaboratively build cases by adding new

sources to create a richer understanding of criminal patterns.

When this country in South America got to be expert at detecting money

laundering activities, criminal gangs adapted toward contraband smuggling,

which is harder to detect. Clues that point to shell companies and illicit

shipments are often buried in the content of shipping manifests, legal

documents and other unstructured sources. Its customs investigators needed to

find these smuggling patterns and act while leads were still hot.

Having automated the capture and consolidation of data from disparate police

and customs databases, the agency is using powerful analytics to detect and

visually display the connections within data that point, with a high level of

accuracy, to suspicious activity. By deploying a cognitive search analysis tool,

the organization can funnel whole new sources of information into the mix and

find subtle connections across them that had been all but impossible to detect.

In 2015, this city in Western Canada launched a mobile citizen engagement app

to provide anytime access to information about a wide range of city services.

However, menu-driven navigation, keyword-based FAQs and searches requiring

specific wording posed significant obstacles to users. Too many responses, or in

some cases none at all, frustrated citizens who then turned to city service

centers, creating additional costs for the city.

The city was among the first public sector organizations to deploy a mobile

self-serve information service that uses natural language processing (NLP) to

analyze and answer customer inquiries. Through the mobile app, users

receive more accurate and concise results because the solution understands

and interprets their questions, even when it has not been specifically trained

on a topic, such as the number of chickens city dwellers can keep.

As you prepare to join the cognitive era,

we offer five key questions to ask yourself as you get started:

• How can I expand the use of my current prescriptive capabilities

to take advantage of cognitive capabilities?

• Do I have the capabilities needed for self-service analytics?

• How can I transform business processes to actively engage

with customers?

• IAre there processes that could benefit from automation?

• s my organizational data platform designed for "fast fail"

projects and cognitive analytics?

Are you ready?
