Accelerate data-driven digital transformation in days
New world, new models….Data and AI have the opportunity to drive more impact than ever
Business, governments, and nonprofits are attempting to keep pace with a rapidly changing environment, from new customer behaviours to a volatile risk landscape. In many cases, historical data and predictive models have become obsolete as new patterns and correlations have emerged. New consumer purchasing decisions in Retail, changing customer demand in Utilities, and credit risk in Retail Banking are driving change, making new data models all the more critical.
A Retail Banking CDO recently stated that his team had built 300 predictive models over 5 years, all of which are now irrelevant and must be rebuilt. Insurance companies are discarding their models across the board, from Churn through to Underwriting, as the historical data upon which these were based are now outdated.
Data teams require weeks to manually test for new patterns and insights and then build predictive models around their findings. Not only has the world changed by that time, but these insights are limited by their own human intelligence. Human analysts can only find correlations in data which they think to test, preventing their organisation from discovering deeper, hidden insights they may not have thought to consider.
Time to insight is critical
Organisations are beginning to realise how important their data is and how crucial it is to use it to predict near term and decision support systems. To accelerate this journey of timely insights and drive impact, Telefónica Tech and SparkBeyond have come together in a shared vision of sophisticated technology solutions for data engineering and strategy.
‘’SparkBeyond and Telefónica Tech are unique in their ability to set up a cloud-based data ingestion service on Azure in days, not weeks or months, for clients and then identify the previously unknown patterns and correlations in hours, as opposed to Data Science teams taking weeks of manual testing, driving significant business or organisation impact against KPIs.’’ Will Maunder-Taylor (Growth Lead EMEA, SparkBeyond)
Telefónica Tech are extremely proud to be partnering with SparkBeyond. This strategic partnership will enable Telefónica Tech to accelerate data driven transformation for our customers and unlock valuable insight from their data, by leveraging the SparkBeyond AI- platform.’ Sophie Marshall (Head of Marketing & Alliances, Telefónica Tech)
