5 Benefits of Analytics to Manage Commercial Construction

The companies I work with or know of get tremendous value from analytics by applying analytics to improving operational decisions. They use analytics:

  • To better predict the fraud risk of a claim so they can pay fewer fraudulent claims.
  • To better predict credit risk so they can manage credit lines more effectively.
  • To predict which cross-sell offer will be most likely to succeed.
  • To predict which price with convert a visitor.

These companies have an implementation process to make sure analytically derived predictions are turned into useful actions, often by applying business rules technology.

So when you think about analytics, don’t think only about aha moments, think about the operational, transactional, micro-decisions that drive your business. Think about how analytics could make each of those decisions a little better, adding up to a whole lot of value. It’s not about “aha” moments – It’s about making better operational decisions.

Decisions are where the business, analytics and IT all come together.
